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.
Census, India is the second most populous country in the world with 1.2 billion people. Many
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
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
Lastly, India is overpopulated, which leads to most of the issues there are within the country. Finally, I will write about
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.

The explosion of population has been a serious issue in worldwide. Some countries are struggling in aging of the population and the shortage of labor force like Australia, Finland and Iceland. Some other countries are facing the overpopulation issue, such as India, Singapore and Kenya. Canada, which has the population shortage problem, tried to increase the labor force by encouraging foreigners to immigrate to their nation. In order to reduce the rate of population growth, India set a family planning policy that encourages citizens to have fewer children on the volunteer basis, Indian government reward the couples that comply with the policy, as well. China is the country that has the most population in the world.
In reading over Bloom’s “Demographic Upheaval”, and relating it back to India as well as places such as Annawadi, and similar slums, there are a few major prognostications made up about these types of areas. The first major demographic factor to talk about in presenting challenges is the rising birth rates in these areas. In this article, it is presented that India by 2022 should pass China to become the most populated nation in the world. There are a couple of major events presented that occur when a nation becomes more populated. For one, nations and areas tend to become more urbanized, as population rates rise. For India, and areas as Annawadi, this would cause further population density, which could be seen as a good thing, in that it may
The more people being born is a huge risked on the ecosystems and exhausting our resources to build homes and create more supermarket to distribute food to everyone. The British medical journal states that “whether the globe can accommodate 6 billion people, each for 60-70 years, without causing damage to ecosystems, is not a question of science but of distributive justice” (Arunachalam 443). The author suggests that people in power can contribute to the solution of population growth or overcrowding then simple scientific solutions. They believe science is not solely responsible for the population growth but it’s the people in power and the people who make the decision to have children’s. better health concerns are the key to understanding human population growth and how we can improve it.
India is the second most populated country in the world with an approximate 1.3 billion people, and boasts an exponentially growing middle income consumer. Currently, the middle class numbers are around 50 million people, but by the year 2025 this is expected to expand dramatically to around 583 million people, 41% of the Indian population (“Next Big
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.
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.
Although New Delhi is a fast growing city, some of their political opinions are outdated, like their lack of commitment to the human right to education. Many schools around New Delhi have denied students access to their schools. A majority of the victims in this case are children who belong to economically weaker , or refugee families in New Delhi, and cannot provide correct papers to enter the school, some have even been denied access for lack of hygiene. One child was denied entrance to school on complaint of his poor hygiene and was asked to take his admission somewhere else (iGovernment). When many of these families cannot even afford food on their table for their children, lack of hygiene should not be a reason to deny a child their right to an education. This incident isn’t the only case in which a student was turned away from school, surveys taken around the local New Delhi schools reported, “twenty three per cent of children stated that they have differently-abled (disabled) children in their schools; main
