Answer 2

The rate of growth of population in India in 2001 - 2011 was 17.64%.

Explanation:

• India is the world's second-most populous country after China and India are expected to overcome China in terms of population in the year 2024, according to the recent reports. India conducts the overall calculations of its population after ten years and hence it is called a decadal census.

• The growth rate shows the rate at which the present population is growing. For the year 2001 -2011 the growth rate was 17.64% which means that around 180 million people are added to the population of India every year, which is alarming because the food and space are limited and more food is needed to feed the growing population.

• Although it showed a decrease in the growth rate of the previous census, that is 1991- 2001. Earlier it was 21.54% which means there was a decline of 3.90% in population growth rate which is significant.
