Population is rising at an alarming rate in India making overpopulation an urgent and important issue. Indians are ignoring the soon to burst-overpopulation bomb. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi had urged the nation to understand the importance of birth control during his 73rd Independence Day speech last year from the Red Fort.

Prime Minister Modi emphasised that population explosion in the country has and will create various problems for the coming generations. There is a need for social awareness in the country. This article is a small initiative to emphasise the impact of overpopulation in India on world population day which falls on July 11

It leads to a decline in the accumulation of capital because with increase in family members, expenses increase. These adverse effects of population growth on per capita income operate more severely if the percentage of children in total population is high.

Per capita income is not enough for measuring economic development? Do you agree or not .why?

# data[].attributes.body
Per capita income is an average and this average may not represent the standard of living of the people, if the increased national income goes to the few rich instead of giving to the many poor. Thus unless national income is evenly distributed, per capita income cannot serve as a satisfactory indicator of development.

Population is the resource of labour force.
The larger the size of population, the larger

will be the labour force. Labour alone cannot produce anything. If other resources required for production are also available in sufficient

quantity then a labour force is productive assets for a country. If other resources are not available in sufficient

quantities then large labour force can become an obstruction to faster economic growth. Some countries particularly the developing countries have fast growth rate of population. India's enormous population explosion neutralizes whatever economic progress the

country makes. 70% of the workers are employed in agriculture, yet there is still not enough food. For every 10 workers, there are 25 non-working dependents to feed.

Thus, the major part of earned income goes for consumption and little is left over for savings and investment. Per capita income ($73) is the lowest of the first 22 nations. 40% of the population is made up of teenagers, which poses a potential threat to the

social security of the nation if their energies are not directed toward constructive goals and if satisfactory jobs cannot be provided for them. The only way to raise economic standards is to reduce the birth rate. To do this, the people must understand the great importance of family planning.

Population growth increases density and, together with rural-urban migration, creates higher urban agglomeration. And this is critical for achieving sustained growth because large urban centers allow for innovation and increase economies of scale.
