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.
