Overpopulation

India suffers from the problem of overpopulation.[1][2][3] Though India ranks second in population, it ranks 33 in terms of population density below countries such as The Netherlands, South Korea and Japan. To cure this problem, Indira Gandhi, Prime Minister of

The first education minister Maulana Azad founded a system of education which aimed to provide free education at the primary level. Primary education was made free and compulsory for children from 6-14, and child labour was banned. The government introduced incentives to education and disincentives for not receiving education – for instance, the provision of mid-day meals in schools were introduced. Many similar initiatives echoed, and the largest of such initiatives is Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, which actively promoted “Education for All”. In line with this, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) aimed to increase their expenditure on education to 6% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from values fluctuating about 3% through their National Common Minimum Programme (NCMP) in 2004. The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act was also imposed in 2009. Despite these initiatives, education continues to persist as an impediment to development.

While many schools were built, they had poor infrastructure and inadequate facilities. Schools in the rural areas were especially affected. According to District
These chapters I’m so interesting about a poverty of Indian tribes. After I read these chapters I know it very difficult for Indians people to services because they don’t have many jobs that provide a standard salary, don’t have a good education, don’t have a good health services, and so on. A good example for describes about a poverty of Indians is Junior and his family. Junior was born with water on his brain and he surgeries when he was six months old. This surgery was caused of his physical problem. He ended up with 42 teeth and normally human have only 32 teeth, which mean he has 10 extra teeth. Also, he needs to pull out all extra teeth in one day because Indians dental health services works on once day for a year. Moreover, the white dentists only gave him a halt of the Novocain because they believed that Indians people only felt halt as much pain as white people did.
China and India are the two countries that have the highest population in the world. Both countries have realised that family planning and population control had to happen around the 1950's for India and the 1970's for China. This essay will seek to compare and contrast China and India, focusing on what the major problems facing both are, why have they both had to implement policies regarding population control, and the long-term and short-term effects that these policies have on the two countries.
Although neither region experienced tremendous stability, the early states of China and modern-day India consistently followed their own styles of state-building practices. These powerful states in East and South Asia, respectively, used quite different methods of state-building, with their techniques greatly mirroring their different levels of desired interaction with outsiders. While the Chinese focused on state-building from within, the empires of modern-day India were more open to outsiders and their potential contributions to Indian society.
Lastly, India is overpopulated, which leads to most of the issues there are within the country. Finally, I will write about
India is the world's most populous nation. It has over a billion and a half people. India's fastest growing state is, Arunachal Pradesh. Its population is 177 million, is crammed into an area the size of colorado. Every 3 years its numbers go up by another 3 million. Its fertility has gone from an average of 6 children per woman to 3. It offers hope that
This paper aims to address the key differences in poverty and inequality between the United States of America and India. We chose these two countries to analyze as inequality and poverty are difficult to compare and contrast on a global scale between all 196 countries. India and USA are also similar at key fundamental levels. We will compare the USA and India across eight key areas in order to come to a conclusion on the driving factors that have created the clear disparities in inequality and poverty between the two countries.
The country of India is in dire need of aid in the decreasing of their population. There are approximately 25 births for each 9 deaths. That is nearly a 1.58% increase in population. The billionth baby was born not to long ago and if this rate keeps up, the problems are only going to get
The United States population is growing rapidly. At a rate of 0.7% per year currently, that equates to about 9 million new people a year, after the number of deaths are accounted for. With the number of people seen on the streets rising and the number of incarcerated criminals “dropping” to around 0.2%, it is difficult to see where all these new people are going to fit into society. As hard as it is to imagine a new baby born every eight seconds, that is the reality currently facing America. However, while this type of population growth is likely going to cause America’s demise, another country is currently populating at a rate even America cannot compete with: India. At an astonishing 1.7% increase per year, India is currently populated with almost 900 million more people than the United States. With less than half the land size and an undeniable need for more resources to survive, India has been faced with the largest increase of population within the last century. However, unlike the United States, India’s government has taken crucial steps towards helping to control their population. Albeit, their methods are a bit unorthodox and incredibly appalling by Western standards. Regardless, in order to maintain a
Through my project, we can find out that both China and India spend a lot of efforts in control their population and achieved some goals. China reduced population growth in the country of 1.3 billion by as much as 300 million people over its first twenty years. Although India has a obvious results in control the population, it improves the health system and decreases the mortality rate of the country.
By KRD Pravin Population explosion is a curse as well as a boon for India. It is the second biggest market of the world. It is a strength,
There are many factors contributing in the population explosion in India, and the increased population has led to many others consequences. Anyhow, steps are taken by the government of India to control this predicament.
Population size and growth has been a subject matter of research oriented people and economists from the time immemorial. It is so because the absorption of resources of a country and people living in the country are closely correlated according to the Malthus theory of Population. Therefore, an attempt has been endeavoured to find initially the demographic transition occurred in superpower China (that has gone a long way in transforming its huge population into demographic dividend) the cause and effect relationship of the same and then moving on to the study of Indian demographic transition and how this transition can help in reaping the demographic dividends. Eventually the empirical tests have been done in order to find out the impact of different variables on the growth of population and how the same can be controlled. To support our study and arrive at useful conclusions, a vital comparison has been done with China that is holding a large demographic profile similar to India. The comparison has facilitated us to take lessons from the former country so that policies could be designed, modified and cautiously applied in our own country enabling us to suitably propose the recommendations. Lastly a vision for India is hoped for, where population is stabilized, population age structure is optimal and economic growth of the
India is a vast developing country in the world and people of many different communities and religious live together in unity. Tribal study is not new to this present research world. There are many studies already done on this topic. Many scholars have paid their attention on it and contributed very much to the field of tribal studies. Most of the scholars were studied about indigenous features of tribes especially their cultures before independence. They emphasized the point that tribal people were kept away from the main stream society. But after independence a number of Indian scholars got involved in the study of tribal issues. They were used modern methods and approaches for
The Indian economy provides a revealing contrast between how individuals react under a government-controlled environment and how they respond to a market-based environment. Evidence suggests that recent market reforms that encouraged individual enterprise have led to higher economic growth in that country. India can generate additional economic growth by fostering entrepreneurial activity within its borders. To pursue further the entrepreneurial approach to economic growth, India must now provide opportunities for (1) education directed specifically at entrepreneurial skills, (2) financing of entrepreneurial
It is expected that by 2021, India’s projected population of 1.3 billion will constitute 64.2% of people in between the age group of 15 and 59.
