____________________________
The population of our country is increasing at an alarming rate and according to population studies India has become the second largest country in the world, accounting for 15% of the world’s population with only 2.4% of the world’s land area.
In the beginning of 20th century the population of India was 23.8 crores but in the year 1994 it was about 90 crores. The Indian population is increasing by about 25 millions every year. It means more than 70,000 babies are born every day.
If population growth rate goes on increasing and remains unchecked then it may cross 1000 million marks by the end of 2000 A.D. and will become the world’s first country in population as compared to China. This population explosion is needed to be controlled in order to avoid its adverse effects on the country’s economical, social and environmental aspects.
Previously the growth of population was limited because there used to be high death rate due to epidemics, famines (scarcities) and other natural calamities like floods, earthquakes and to some extent wars.
But now-a-days the death rate has sharply decreased due to improvement in health services in the fields of maternity and child health (MCH), school health services and control of most of the communicable diseases.
With the advancement of technology even some control has been made on natural calamities. Through all these measures though death rate has decreased but birth rate has not appreciably decreased. Thus, it will be seen that it is the high birth rate as compared to low death rate, which is the main cause of population explosion in India.
