#Watch | Kashmir’s falling birth rate triggers rare public debate in Kashmir As Kashmir’s birth rate continues to decline, students, doctors and public health experts gathered in Sopore for an unusual and timely conversation that moved beyond statistics to confront the deeper social anxieties reshaping the Valley’s future. Hosted by Haneefa Nursing College in collaboration with Hakim Sonuallah Specialist Hospital and Cancer Centre, the event brought together participants from 18 nursing colleges across Kashmir for an inter-college declamation competition and an expert panel discussion on the theme, 'Declining Birth Rate in Kashmir: Causes, Consequences and Way Forward.' What emerged was less a routine academic seminar and more a generational debate on changing priorities, delayed marriages, infertility concerns, migration and the pressures of modern life increasingly influencing family decisions in the Valley. Students examined the issue through social, economic, medical and cultural lenses, pointing to rising career aspirations, stress, lifestyle changes and limited reproductive health awareness as key factors contributing to the decline. The discussion also focused on the long-term implications of falling birth rates, including shrinking family structures, workforce challenges and the broader impact on Kashmir’s social and economic future. Senior Editor, Greater Kashmir, Nazir Ganaie, sits down with the former Principal of Government Medical College Srinagar and noted paediatrician Dr Kaiser Ahmad, along with Dr Farhat Jabeen, Prof Tamkeena Khan and Prof Masooma Rizvi to undertake the issue in detail. The speakers stressed the need for evidence-based public discourse, timely medical consultation, stronger healthcare infrastructure and greater awareness around reproductive health. Several panelists also underlined the importance of involving young people in shaping conversations around Kashmir’s demographic future rather than reducing the issue to political rhetoric or isolated data points #Kashmirbirthrate #Infertility #JammuAndKashmir #GKTV #greaterkashmir
