The document discusses population growth and overpopulation. It defines population as all organisms of the same species in a geographical area. Human population growth is a major concern as it affects economic, environmental, and social issues worldwide. The population of India is currently 1.31 billion people. Overpopulation can cause problems like increased poverty, unemployment, food scarcity, and environmental issues. Various countries have implemented policies to control population growth, such as China's former one-child policy, incentives for child spacing in Pakistan, and forced sterilization in Uzbekistan after a second child. Education and development are presented as effective ways to control population.

2. WHAT IS POPULATION?
Population is all the organism belonging to same
group or specie, in a particular geographical area.
Human population growth is subject for major concern
as it is affecting economic, environmental and social
issues of the world. As human population is growing
rapidly, urgent steps should be taken in order to
prevent the foreseen problems including food scarcity.
Even though, various technologies have been made in
order to meet the need of this large population, this
would not suit in a long run.

7. HISTORY:
• India, in fact, was the first country to have a population
policy, which was introduced in 1952, and is now known
as the ‘First Five Year Plan’. This plan was introduced as
a response to decreasing mortality rates subsequent
population boom. The 1950′s method was known as the
‘clinical approach’. Family planning clinics were built in
hopes that people would utilize them, however this plan
failed as parents had no incentives to attend these
clinics.
• In the 1970’s, a more focused effort was being directed
by the government to decrease population growth. The
Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act of 1971 allowed
for abortions performed by a medical practitioner within
the first three months of pregnancy, except in the states
of Jammu and Kashmir, which are majority Muslim.
