Answer 1

Answer:

The population of India represents 17.99% of the world´s total population which arguably means that one

person in every 6 people on the earth is a resident of India. India is the second most populated country in

the world and is believed to surpass the population of China in coming years. India is projected to be the

world’s most populous country by 2024. Its population growth rate is 1.13%, ranking 112th in the world in

2017. More than 50% of Indian population is below the age of 25 and more than 65% below the age of 35. It

is expected that in 2020 average age of an Indian will be 29 years and dependency ratio will be just over 0.4.

Population is means as well as ends of economic development in India. It an asset if in adequate

strength and prove to be a liability if excess in strength. Population has crossed the optimum limit in India

success of economic planning and development. The current population of India contributes to 17% of the

global population. Also, all these people are unevenly distributed across 3.28 million square kilometres of our

geographical area.

According to the 2001 Census, Uttar Pradesh is the highest populated state in India with a total number

of 166 million people. While on the other hand, states like Sikkim and Lakshadweep have the lowest population

of 0.5 million in Sikkim and only 60000 people in the island state of Lakshadweep. Furthermore, about half of

the India’s population is distributed into five major states- Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, West Bengal, and

Andhra Pradesh. Though Rajasthan is the largest state in size, its population contributes to only 5.5% of the total

population of India.
