Article on over population and unhealthy livingcondition
Answers
bursting population, India will over take China within 30 years. It will become the most populas
country in the world. The population explosion has made a mockery of all our plans, development
and achievements. More and more people bring more and more poverty and misery. The growing
population is degrading the environment and the living standard of people. India has crossed a
billion mark several years ago. We produce an Australia every year. More people means more
mouth to feed. How will India feed it's ever increasing population? People are increasing but the
arable lands, forests and natural resources are shrinking fast and what about the health services?
It will become increasingly difficult to provide ideal health services to many people. Forests and
green belts are disappearing. The environment and the ecology is being destroyed providing
shelters to so many people is a huge problem.
The government must find out ways and means to control the rising population. Those who cross
the limit must debarred from the public services. The family commission programme must be
implemented in our country

The term overpopulation literally means that the number of things that depend on resources for survival is significantly larger than the amount of resources available to them. Today our planet is experiencing the effects of multiplying citizens because of the obstacles the environment is being forced to take on. Many believe that Earth is presently occupied by to many people . Year after year the population multiplies faster and faster. “Currently the world population is growing by 80 million people a year”
EFFECT OF OVERPOPULATION
Human overpopulation is among the most pressing environmental issues, silently aggravating the forces behind global warming, environmental pollution, habitat loss, the sixth mass extinction, intensive farming practices and the consumption of finite natural resources, such as fresh water, arable land and fossil fuels.
