Q: What are the reasons for increasing population after Indian Independence?
A: After independence in India, the population has been increasing
tremendously. The main reasons for this population explosion are as
follows:
Effective handling of famine, drought and flood situations by
implementing five year plans.
Agriculture is modernized and irrigation facilities are improved.
Green Revolution has been taken place.
Effective control of dreadful epidemic diseases through the
advancement of medical technology and wide spread diffusion of health
care delivery system to all parts of the country and to all sections
of people so that the death rate has fallen very sharply.
The high birth-rate could not be controlled as expected because of
illiteracy, religious and social attitude of the people. The family
planning programme of the government has not been very successful for
effective control of birth rate on par with that of the death-rate.
As a result, the disparity between birth-rate and death-rate has widened.
The spread of education, development of science and technology and
effective as well as optimum utilization of all the available
resources have given greater space and prospects for sustainability.
