Punjab Mail was a popular advertising vehicle as well for family planning. Here, in this picture from September 16, 1968, it carries the message ‘Two or Three Children, No More’. The birth control signs on locomotives of several trains carried the red triangle-symbol of family planning in India. At the time, India's population was 550 million (55 crore), and was increasing by nearly 10 million (1 crore) every year. It stands close to 1.5 billion (150 crore) now.
