Population
I think the population is a fact for our country and that we can't ignore. Now its on us to convert that population into an asset instead of liability. The thing is we need stronger education system, that provides more and more earning opportunities through jobs or creating capabilities of getting into own business and providing source opportunities for that too. All we need is to change the direction of the river and make it generative.
Population is devastating currently reason
It causes pollution.
Loss of cultivable land, forest and hence rain.
Excessive use of machines hence mass's dependability on machines and the most dangerous effect global warming.
Population is no boon to us, and is increasing our day to day problems but it has a bright side too!
I can write a big essay on this but coming directly to the point, last financial year proved that high population is the one main factor which helped us to stand against Global Recession, that Global Recession in which the developed economies like USA, Britain, etc failed to save their people.
So, before cursing this large population, we need to understand all the aspects and after all we are also a part of this curse.
China and INDIA is emerging very fast due to its population only.
Population is a biggest hindrance for the growth in literacy. Everything takes a back seat when population grows rapidly and even the basic needs of humans are not fulfilled. The inequality in the education field is existing in US also. They have technology and various new methodologies for providing education. But not all sectors of the society are benefited by it. Indian problem is much more in its population growth. So I guess it's the biggest issue which the country has to deal with in today's scenario.
