India and Population..

The header must have given you a thought not to continue reading further coz this is one of thefew topics that have been time and again analysed and presented in various perspectives as is our diverse cultures within..

I am making no extra efforts or attempts to claim that my post over it is unique and plz read it..it just effecting all of us and i thot i give it a "post" importance at least..I would like to claim at this moment that through this post i am putting forward just the facts and figures that i could collect and this post meant no offences..

we crossed the one billion marks couple of years back and if i guess right i would be 1.5 billion in no distant future coz it already had crossed 1.4 bilion by the time this post will be published...

mentioning a few facts regarding Population of india..

1. approximately every two seconds a child takes birth..(31 births per minutes being exact, while the most populous country china has 20 as its rate)..that takes to 44,640 child per day

2. every year more then 16milion people are added to population..this being marginally les then population of Australia of 20 million

3. at present india accommodates a population of 50 times that of Australia.

4. india hosts population more then south America,north America and Australia combined.

5. as per experts india will cross china in population latest by 2025 A.D.

6. india's population density is 267 people per square kilometer while china has 109 and united states has 26 to compare.

7. the most astonishing is india's uttar pradesh(as in 2004, now broken in parts) boosts a population of 145 million combined only less then China, USA, Brazil, Indonesia, and United USSR in strength of population.amazing but true!

8. a simple assumption says now every seventh person alive is an indian..so got why we hear now an then "a person of indian origin..." and fell proud.

9. india has a population below BPL of 40 million while America has a total population of 32 million and to make things worse india margin of BPL is far low then that of major developing countries forget about the developed ones..

10. India has 2.4% of total available land on earth while it boosts an population of 16% that on earth..

Lots of facts to digest..the more of figures could be browsed and seen easily...the mere intention of above was to see through the reality and assume how the country with such an burden going to grow,,how will its growth reflected with such an burden..

In the past decade we have created job opportunities like never before thanks to our position as best IT service provider but despite that the unemployment problem still persist hugely in our economy..

We people easily take our prise in saying "Largest" in terms of nay records we happen to make by intention or by chance but seeing the size of our population does the above record seems surprising..i am sorry to say i am not surprised at all!

How many records we have of say "Fastest", "Quickest" etc...Let me give you one more such an example..
Recently an big Paper Production unit Orissa expanded itself with a new unit and easily become the most automated paper production unit in india but to make things appear dull the machinery it employed to reach there was an outdated one purchased from an US paper production unit..is that what we expect from an country which boosts 1/7th of world's population..

Frankly there has not been much done to curb population growth in india except the few promotions on Doordarshan and few wall poster/paintings..
The Govt can do much more then this like incentives and benefits on Tax and Education ..
Because ultimately its the Masses call if we have balanced structure for every need...like the food crises going on presently..whats this for because of uneven growth of population and food grains..

Take the case of medical facilities..the ratio is worst in india only because majority of population is below BPL..what to say afford they even cant educate themselves.. so from where will we get medical facilities as they cant educate themselves...they cant afford to pay to medical facilities available..why we blame the doctors to go abroad..what will they do to get earning if they have spent so much on their studies..there needs to be an balanced economy and for that there needs to be an balance between the masses and theirs needs to be satisfied...

I call on everyone to take the message of population growth to whatever level and in whatever way they can..so we can nae the best use of the talent pool that we have..

I would like to have your comments/feedback on the same and also would like to have you post more facts and example so that the topic grows...
