Rapid population growth in India has led to issues such as depletion of natural resources, environmental degradation, high cost of living, rising unemployment, conflicts, increased crime and poverty. While progress has been made through initiatives like the Green Revolution, around 50% of Indian children remain malnourished and maternal mortality remains high. Efforts are needed to continue public awareness campaigns, empower women through education, and meet family planning needs to help reduce population growth and its negative effects on India.

9. • Rapid reduction in population growth can be achieved through public awareness
and emancipation of women through imparting knowledge and education to
woman and people residing in the rural sectors of India.
• By meeting all felt needs for contraception and reducing the infant and maternal
mortality and mortalities that desired reduction in fertility level is achieved.
• India is a complex land. A visitor to Delhi might leave with the impression that India
is rapidly becoming a middle-class country with a consumer-oriented and
developed lifestyle. But India remains a rural country at the core.Progress has been
achieved on many fronts if the size of the population is considered as an
impediment.Agricultural production quadrupled during a remarkable
transformation of its agricultural segments in the 1960s and 1970s (the “Green
Revolution”)
• Nonetheless, almost 50 percent of Indian children are malnourished. The
expansion of the healthcare system has raised life expectancy at birth to 63 years
from less than 40 years in 1950. But less than half of births are attended by skilled
health personnel, and maternal mortality is still high.
• During the 20th century, India’s population growth awoke from the doldrums as
real progress was made against disease and hunger. The quarter-billion of 1900
became the 1 billion of 2000. Slowing such unheard-of growth became a national
priority from the nation’s beginning, and India can count many successes in that
effort.
