PROBLEMS DUE TO OVERPOPULATION
No doubt India has made great progress, but the biggest problem that India is facing is the rapid growth of population. A large number population means more people dependent on the limited resources. It results in the shortage of food, water, clothes, houses, jobs, etc. Above all, unemployment stands out be the most distinctive problem of the country. The population of India is increasing rapidly by leaps and bounds but jobs and avenues cannot be created in the same proportion. So a large section of people remains unemployed. There is a large number of people who are partly employed or completely unemployed. Many educated and qualified people are not able to get jobs. As a result, a large number of people are migrating from villages to cities in search of jobs. The cities are getting overcrowded due to which a large number of people are forced to live in the slum areas where the living conditions are very unhygienic. Our country cannot grow economically, politically or socially, unless this problem is solved. Government is also taking many steps to curb this social problem.
