India’s population is growing at an alarming rate.

It was 340 million in 1947. and it took just 34
year to double in 1981 to reach 680 million.
If this trend continues, India may over take China

in the world.
The current population is 1.35 billion (In

problems – burdening and straining the
nation’s resources.
India is poised to overtake China as the
