POPULATION

Persons are resources as well as split ends of economic development. They are an asset if in ample strength and prove to be a burden if excess in strength. Population has traversed the optimal limit in India and has grown to be a liability. Overpopulation has been major dilemma in India. The efforts to remove the nuisance of population problem have only been partially effective. In significance the rate of population increase has gone down, but the sense of balance between the optimum population growth and a healthy nation is far to be attained. Unhealthy living, lack of knowledge, illiteracy, and lack of appropriate recreation have remained the basis of population trouble in India. The chief endeavor of this effort is to stumble on the effects of hasty population growth on economic development of India. This is very important because India is second most populated country in the world and many studies show that India will leave behind china soon based on the population growth rate in both of these countries. So the study of relationship between these variables may help the government to think about the effect of population growth on their policies in upcoming or future.
