Its nationwide initiative has included public gatherings, protests, demonstrations, and meetings with Members of Parliament and other prominent figures, including the President of India. The central demand of the campaign is the implementation of a comprehensive Population Control Law.
According to the organization, their campaign has garnered the support of 125 Members of Parliament, including Union Minister Mr. Giriraj Singh and Dr. Indresh Kumar, National Executive Member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Chief Patron of the Foundation.
Dr. Pandey stated that if concrete steps are not taken soon, the organization is considering launching a protest campaign targeting key public representatives, including elected Panchayati Raj Institution (PRI) members and Members of Parliament.
In addition to the submission made in Sri Vijaya Puram, memoranda were also handed over to the Deputy Commissioners of Nicobar and North & Middle Andaman districts. In Nicobar, the memorandum was submitted by Mr. Amar Kumar and his associates, while in North and Middle Andaman, it was delivered by Ms. Suman Kumari and her team.
