Introduction
One of the serious problems India is facing today is ‘Population Explosion’. It has become
one of the most serious problems in our country. Population explosion is an undesirable
condition where the number of existing human population exceeds the actual carrying
capacity of nature. Population explosion is caused by a number of factors. The current
population of India is 127million reported on may15,2015. It has become very deathly for the
citizens of India to live a natural life. On this respect Government of India should take
immediate steps to control population explosion in India.
Definition and meaning of population explosion

A population explosion is a sudden increase in the number of individuals in


a particular species. Population explosion implies an alarming increase in
population in low level of living i.e., insufficient food education health and
other necessities in life. A pyramiding numbers of biological population ;
especially : the great increase in human numbers resulting from the
increased survival exponential population growth .

As Albert Einstein pointed out that ‘population explosion in various


countries has become a serious threat to the health of people and a grave
obstacle to any attempt to organize peace on this planet’.

Conclusio
Population Explosion is detrimental to achieving
n
economic and social progress and to sustainable
management of the natural resource base. But there
remains a sizeable gap between the private and social
interest in fertility reduction , and this gap needs to be
narrowed. Policies and programs that influence health,
education , the status of women ,and the economic value
of children in true influence attitudes toward childbearing,
family planning, and people’s ability to control family
size. Effort to reduce fertility through explicit population
policies, therefore, should be integrated with policies to
improve health, education, and the status of women. So, it
is our own duty to control such explosions to prevent
population explosion in India along with the government.
