Using mathematical modelling in secondary school curriculum for creating awareness for population study mathematics

The rapidly growing population of our nation and its far reaching consequences in economic, social, physical, environmental domains of India is a major cause of concern. Various government projects/programs have been implemented for the past 65years in fields of maternal &child health, family planning, primary education, women empowerment etc. But still Government is yet to achieve its target. India is a huge country and any plan of action can be successful only if it is implemented from grass root level. Universal Education is a global prime target and Mathematics, which is itself an universal subject of education right from primary level, can be used effectively to spread awareness amongst our younger generation regarding the demographic picture of present India. Mathematical models using school mathematics can be used effectively as interesting problems for young India. .Following National Curriculum objectives, in this way Mathematics will be presented in real practical problems which, with various graphs, figures, models will not only be interesting but will be thought provoking and enlightening for our students. These problems will replace imaginary problems and give them an insight regarding our real India and encourage them to find solution in their own way. In this way our future nation builders will be better prepared as future citizens of India.
