Thread: Population Explosion in India

A single policy or leader can not handle so many different communities, states, people, etc. With the support of regional leaders there should be multiple "customized" policies to reduce this problem.

I agree that many developed countries have around same or more density of people in comparison to India but still the distribution and utilization of resources is very uneven in India unlike those countries.

You are absolutely right Srihari. It is really important to get a solution to this major problem of population explosion in India.

Today India's total population rate has grown so high that India is almost ranking top in the populated country list. This problem is very severely affecting many lives as people have less to eat, no homes for shelter, no clothes to wear, which all is forcing them to snatch things from others.

This is leading to higher number of thefts, murders, etc. So, people please take some important steps to stop this explosion from destroying our beautiful country India.

India is witnessing population explosion since past few years. The reason for this is illiteracy in india. People go on producing children even though they cannot afford to bring them up. This is mostly prevalent in rural parts of india. Though there are various family planning programs, their implementation is not a huge success. Educating the people and proper advertisement of family planning would control explosion of population

population in india is rising like a swarm of dragonflies. indian government is promoting family planning and birth control programs but this is not being done adequately and most of the part of india which is still into darkness follow multiple child policy. efforts should be made to change the mindset of all the citizens because if the current rate continues, india would face price rise and deficit in resources.

India is the only country where the men outnumber the women.

I am completely disagree with you at one point and that is the growing population will provide abundance of young people. But you have forgotten one thing that from where will these young people will get their education? We all know that more than 60% people are living below poverty line in india and most of the population rises from there only. Educated people does not do more than 1 or maximum 2 children. It is only these poor people who believes that if they have more children they have more earning hands. which is completely false. So growing population is not at all good for our country.

Population should be controlled by the government and population check policies should be started to keep an eye on the growing population of India. Population rise is very dangerous for the country as the demand is increasing but the scarcity of resources are there due to increase in population and ultimately the demand is rising high. This should be stopped until the situation gets worst.

though this issue seems to be very lsmall, it could be a potential threat to the stability of nation in future. if population goes on increasing at a faster pace, we would run short of living areas, food, other essential commodities, natural resources and issues like pollution, poverty crime etc would increase. so i think government must also take issues like population explosion into concern and move ahead with their policies.

Population of India
The world has the population of 6 billion. In the year of March 2001, the total population of India was a little over 1 billion and exact was 1,027,015,247 out of which men were 531,277,078 and women were 495,738,169. Of this number, 157,863,145 are children up to the age of six years of which 81,911,041 were males and 75,952,104 were females.

A provisional report
As per the provisional figures of Census 2011, the population of the country is 1210.19 million out of which 623.7 million are males whereas 586.46 million are females. The population of India has increased by more than 181 million during the decade 2001-2011 which has actually added lesser population as compared to the previous decade.

India And Overpopulation: India ranks 2nd in population, but it ranks 33rd in population-density terms. For cure of overpopulation, Indira Gandhi's forced sterilization program in 1970s failed, officially men with 2 children or more had to get sterilized, but many ignorant poor men were sterilized, this program is still criticized and hampered Government programs for decades.
