INTRODUCTION
Is population explosion a boon or a curse? For the European developed countries like Spain and Italy, where the population is decreasing, this might be considered as a boon. However, for the developing countries like India, population explosion is a curse and is damaging to the development of the country and it’s society.
MEANING The literal meaning of population is “the
whole number of people or inhabitants in a country or region”.
The literal meaning of population explosion is “a sudden, large increase in the size and number of population”.
In simple words, it could be defined as increase in birth rates and decrease in death rates.
FORMULA Population change = (Births + Immigration)
– (Deaths + Emigration).
Migration is the number of people moving in (immigration) or out (emigration) of a country, place or locality.

has crossed 1,028,737,436 out of which 532,223,090 are males and females are 496,514,346.
Of this number, 157,863,145 are children up to the age of six years out of which 81,911,041 are males and 75,952,104 are females.

REASONS FOR THE POPULATION The increase in birth rates due to medical
improvements and illiteracy.
The decrease in death rates due to better medical facilities and advancements in the field of medicine.
Immigration to better developed countries due to several reasons like better job opportunities, war, and natural causes like hurricanes, earthquakes, and so on.
REASONS FOR INCREASE IN POPULATION IN INDIABirth rate Poverty Illiteracy, traditions and cultural Norms.
Death rates Advanced medical treatments.
Migration Migration plays an important role in the
population increase. However, in countries like India, migration plays a big role in the population change.
EFFECTS OF POPULATION EXPLOSION: Already India is containing 17.5%of the
world’s population.The current rate of population growth in India is 1.2% and the total fertility rate is 2.1%.
Air Pollution Water Pollution Increase in Demand For Food Resources Deforestation Unemployment and Illiteracy
AIR POLLUTION The technological development of India has lead not
only to medical advancements, but also to an increase in the number of factories. That has lead to air and water pollution.
Increase in factories
Increase in vehicles
WATER POLLUTION
Nowadays water pollution is also one of the increasing problems due to the population explosion.
Major Pollutants are: Petroleum products Pesticides and herbicides Hazardous wastes Excessive organic matters like fertilizers.
INCREASE IN DEMAND FOR FOOD RESOURCES
Resources are always limited. And in a developing and highly populous country like India, resources are even scarcer. Population explosion results in the shortage of even the most basic resources like food.
DEFORESTATIONIncrease in Deforestation for occupying land for day by day
increase in population .
For Agriculture For Urbanization
UNEMPLOYMENT AND ILLITERACY Unemployment, or underemployment, further leads to
poverty. This again starts the vicious cycle of poverty and population explosion discussed above. Poverty leads to an increase in the population, because poverty leads people to produce more children to increase the earning members of the family.
CONSEQUENCES OF RAPID POPULATION GROWTH

2. Political Effects
3. Consequences for Education
