Heavy Population pressure

[abhishreshthaa]

The main problem in India is the high level of birth rates coupled with a falling level of death rates. The rate of growth of population which was about 1.31 per cent per annum during 1941-50 has risen to 2.11 per cent during 1981-91.

The chief cause of this rapid spurt to population growth is the steep fall in death rate from 49 per thousand during 1911-20 to 9.6 per thousand in 1990; as compared to this, the birth rate has declined from about 49 per thousand during 1911-20 to 29.9 per thousand in 1990. The fast rate of growth of population necessitates a higher rate of economic growth in order to maintain the same standard of living of the population.


To maintain a rapidly growing population, the requirements of food, clothing, shelter, medicine, schooling, etc. all rise. Thus, a rising population imposes greater economic burdens and, consequently, society has to make a much greater effort to initiate the process of growth.

Hey Abhijeet, Population pressure is impeccably and finically explained here.

The sum of the factors (as increase in numbers or excessive food consumption) within a population that reduce the ability of an environment to support the population and that therefore tend to result in migration and expansion of range or in extinction or decline of the population.

In hindsight it seems like a blessing. With the largest youth employable workforce, India is the face of change. We are also the largest english speaking nation and can outsource skills to various countries globally!

Hey abhi, as we all know that it is the major issue of our nation and we need to take some serious steps to control it. I am uploading a document which can give more important points regarding the population pressure.
