Question
India is experiencing Population Explosion.

Answer

Yes, I do agree with the statement.
  • India is going through a population explosion because in the post-independence period, the death rate has been falling rapidly and the birth rate is falling slowly and still remains very high. So, the survival rate is high.
  • India is the second-largest country in the world.
  • Between 1951 to 1971 population increased from 36.1 crores to 54.8 i.e. the population has increased more than 3 times in 2011 to 121.02 crores during these three decades. The annual population growth rate was more than 2%.
  • That is why India is experiencing a population explosion.
