''Us two, our two'' ("Hum do, hamare do" in Hindi) is a slogan meaning ''one family, two children'' and is intended to reinforce the message of family planning thereby aiding population planning.

Facilities offered by government to its employees are limited to two children. The government offers incentives for families accepted for sterilization. Moreover, India was the first country to take measures for family planning back in 1952.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://iussp.org/sites/default/files/event_call_for_papers/IUSSP_40FP_0.pdf | title=40 YEARS OF PLANNED FAMILY PLANNING EFFORTS IN INDIA | access-date=26 June 2019 | author=Aalok Ranjan Chaurasia, Ravendra Singh | pages=1}}</ref>
{{cquote |In the south west of India lies the long narrow coastal state of Kerala. Most of its thirty-two million inhabitants live off the land and the ocean, a rich tropical ecosystem watered by two monsoons a year. It's also one of India's most crowded states – but the population is stable because nearly everybody has small families…  At the root of it all is education. Thanks to a long tradition of compulsory schooling for boys and girls Kerala has one of the highest literacy rates in the World.  Where women are well educated they tend to choose to have smaller families…  What Kerala shows is that you don't need aggressive policies or government incentives for birthrates to fall. Everywhere in the world where women have access to education and have the freedom to run their own lives, on the whole they and their partners have been choosing to have smaller families than their parents.  But reducing birthrates is very difficult to achieve without a simple piece of medical technology, contraception.||[[David Attenborough]]|[[Horizon (British TV series)|BBC ''Horizon'']] (2009)|''How Many People Can Live on Planet Earth''}}
