Family Planning - New Trends

The American Way of Family Planning

Known Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud has 4 daughters' from his first wife. In his pursuit to get a son , last November he married the daughter of a cleric. He was making love to his second wife at his father-in-laws' house, when he was killed in an American drone attack.

Next day TOI heading read and I quote - "Desire for son led to Baitullah Mehsud's death: Report"

This definitely puts a question mark in my mind - Is this the new American way of family planning? When Americans are trying to sell their weapons and latest technology to various governments for family planning, Indians are not far behind.

The Sim'b'le Kerala Government Way

Kerala government is planning to penalize parents for having more than two children.The drafted proposal says, the government will charge a nominal fee of Rs.10,000 and thereby punish the parents for having a third child. The TKMIT -Information Technology branch pass out, Mr. P. Podimon has already coded this information in the new Kerala Family Planning software.

Code:
Full Mode: (In case the government plans to penalize those who are already having more than 2 children)
If ( count >2)
ln_extra := ln_total - 2;
ln_amount:= ln_extra*10,000;
End if;

Incremental Logic: This logic is based on the last update date. It will come handy if the revenue department is not able to recover money in time.

Select count(extra_child). family_id
into ln_extra, ln_family_id
from we_are_the_champions
where revenue_recovery_date < last_update_date;

ln_amount:= ln_extra*10,000;

update we_are_the_champions
set revenue_recovery_date = sysdate
,ln_count = NULL
where family_id = ln-family_id;
