Population refers to a collection of humans constituting a particular race,
class, or group in a specified area. India, with 1,324,671,539 (1.32 billion)
people is the second most populous country in the world, while China is on
the top with over 1,379,489,506 (1.37 billion) people. Every year, India adds
more people than any other nation in the world, and in fact the individual
population of some of its states is equal to the total population of many
countries.

7. Impacts of over population
Even after 70 years of independence the scenario of our country is not
good due to overpopulation. Some of the major impacts of over
population are:
• Unemployment
• Man power utilization
• Decreased production and increased cost

8. Preventive measures of population growth
• Birth control- make contraception freely available to all married and
unmarried women in the society.
• Education
• Adoption
• Family planning

9. National Population Policy(NPP)India-2000
National Population Policy of India was formulated in the year 2000
with the long term objective of achieving a stable population by 2045,
at a level consistent with the requirements of sustainable economic
growth, social development, and environmental protection. The
immediate objective of the policy is to address the unmet needs for
contraception, health care infrastructure, and health personnel, and to
provide integrated service delivery for basic reproductive and child
health care.

10. National Population Policy-2000,India aims
• Short Term : Fulfill unmet need for contraception, strengthening the
health infrastructure, integrating the services for Reproductive and
Child Health.
• Medium Term :Effective implementation of strategies to substantially
reduce the TFR (Total Fertility Rate)by 2010.
• Long Term : To sustain the economic growth, social development and
eco-conservation, stabilize the population by 2045.

11. Objectives had been set in the National
Population Policy till the year 2010
• The 'total fertility rate' to be reduced to 2.1 from 2.4.
• The high class birth control services had to be made available
publically so that the standard of two children could be
adopted.
• The infant mortality rate had to be reduced to 30 per thousand.
• The mother mortality rate had also to be reduced to below 100
per one lakh.
• The late marriage of girls had to be encouraged.

12. Conclusion
 The Government of India, politicians, policy makers should initiate a
bold population policy so that the economic growth of the country
can keep pace with the demands of a growing population. Major
steps which have been already implemented but still need to be
emphasised more to control population. Increasing the welfare and
status of women and girls, spread of education, increasing awareness
for the use of contraceptives and family planning methods, sex
education, encouraging male sterilisation and spacing births, free
distribution of contraceptives among the poor, encouraging female
empowerment, more health care centres for the poor , to name a few,
can play a major role in controlling population.

13.  India’s strengths in the global world in various fields cannot be
ignored, whether in science & technology, medicine and health care,
business and industry, military, communication, entertainment,
literature and many more. Experts are hopeful that by increasing
public awareness and enlisting strict population control norms by the
Government will definitely lead the way for the country’s economic
prosperity and control of population.
