Billion people who helped India to place itself in the second spot among the world nations, not in terms of trade or GDP or per-capita but in terms of population and still the people of nation trying their best to better the position. The growing population is always been a challenge to India in every aspect.To better understand the challenges that the nation is facing we can consider Corruption, Poverty, environmental imbalance which always maintained its growth rate higher than improvement of facilities in education or medical sector.
As the greed of the individuals is kept growing along with the population to become super rich and to secure their child’s future and in a place where there are no adequate resources available to fulfill their dreams, a lot of people who includes government emloyees, politicians turned corrupt by taking bribes and alloting the contracts to the undeserved which inturn leading to poor quality in the project output. The trend continued and today corruption became the biggest evil to the development of nation.
The growing population without a balanced growth in their per-capita is causing imbalance among the people in the society and inturn raising the poverty rate of the nation year on year. The nation which proudly quotes unity as its greatest strength is getting divided with the economic imbalance in the society . The saying “Rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer” aptly suits to the conditions in the country.
The growing population with its growing needs is leading to the utilization of the natural resources at a high rate affecting the environment. We can mention the green house effect, the melting on Himalayas and the rate at which deforestation is taking place as the examples.
The progress the nation is showing in the primary education, the increase in the life span of a person and decrease in the death rate of the children can be seen as a good sign but when all of these are compared with the growth rate in the population, it is still a big concern to the nation.
The nation with more than a billion population is always expected to face problems and at the same time it is also expected to resolve the issues in an efficient manner. The problems that are mentioned above can be handled fairly with the proper utilization of the intelligence and the talent the nation holds along with strict implementation of the existing laws and a better governance.
