In the last 45 years, the population has increased at a whopping rate of 2.2% per annum. An average of approx. 17 million people are added every year to the population which raises the demand for consumption goods considerably.

Answer:

(i) Heavy pressure of population

Population has been rising in India at a rapid speed. This rise is mainly due to fall in death rate and more birth rate.

(ii) Unemployment and under employment

Due to continuous rise in population, there is chronic unemployment and under employment in India.

(iii) Capital Deficiency

Capital is needed for setting up industry, transport and other projects. Shortage of capital creates hurdles in development.

(iv) Under-developed economy

The Indian economy is under developed due to low rate of growth. It is the main cause of poverty.
