In the pageant, the finalists were given 45 seconds each to answer this question: What do you think is the most critical issue in the world today that needs to be resolved and what solution do you propose?
The winning answer of India was:
“I believe the most critical issue the world is facing today is poverty due to overpopulation and lack of resources. Simply put, there isn’t enough for everybody on this planet. I think it’s time for world leaders to take accountability and to start promoting the idea of enough resources for everybody. We can do this by promoting birth control methods in the different countries. I come from a country India, where not everybody has access to food, water, education, and basic amenities, and this is true for most of the world. It’s time for us to stop fighting with each other and start respecting one other and making sure there are enough resources for everyone on this planet.”
