POPULATION GROWTH IN INDIA


 
India is growing rapidly, be it in population, in economy, in number of vehicles or in corruption. The recent provisional census data for the year 2011 show that we are 1.21 billion people, nearly 17.5% of the global population, making every sixth person in the world an Indian. We are only next to China in total population, which is contributing 19.4% to the world population with 1.341 billion people. Our population has increased over five times in the last 110 years from 0.24 billion in 1901. About 181 million people have been added in the last decade, with a decadal growth rate of 17.64% and annual growth of 1.64%, while China has a much lower decadal growth rate (5.43%) as well as annual growth rate (053%). Even the global annual population growth rate (1.23%) is much lower than that of India. Does this mean that are we adding more people year after year?                - Drs. H. S. Sudhira and K.

Population growth the otherway to view is to consider it as an opportunity as is the case with China, the country formidable force in any context for its productivity of human resources.It is the quality of governance that decides the destiny of the people of a given country. There are no indians in India, the joke goes as a foreigner visiting India.
