Dear Bhoj P. Singh,
No government in India has successfully formulated policies to manage the country's human population growth, which stands at 1.6% a year, down from a high of about 2.3% in the early 1970s. India is forecast to become the world's most populous country in 2030, up from 1.35 billion today to nearly 1.55 billion. The two main common causes leading to over population in India are: The birth rate is still higher than the death rate. The fertility rate due to the population policies and other measures has been falling but even then it is much higher compared to other countries. The formation of a national Indian planning commission for population control is viewed as necessary for motivating all people to reduce population size. More statistics are needed in India on environmental measures and population. Environmental degradation lowers economic status, which in turn contributes to poverty. According to a report in the Times of India (6 May 2010) the government of India will not introduce legislation to reduce population growth. Report said, “Population is a major concern. India is the world's second most populous country. Urgent steps need to be taken to stabilise the population for sustainable development.”
Below are the most effective measures which can be employed to control population growth:
1. Development.
2. Easy and Cheap availability of Contraceptives. ...
3. Education. ...
4. Eradicate Poverty. ...
5. Women Empowerment. ...
6. Spread Awareness. ...
7. Providing Incentives. ...
8. Legislative Actions. ...
Hope it work out for you.

The best option is enforcement of "Population Control Act", similar to Chinese legislation.
But under prevailing political situation in India it appears quite difficult.
