K. H. Shinde and Namdeo S. Adnaik

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Population also plays an important role in modern economic development. It is the most potent resource which can alter the entire face of the country, if utilised prudently. Not only it provides trained and skilled man-power for economic reconstruction but like other natural resources it can be exported to earn regular income and meet financial crisis. But an illiterate and unskilled population full of ethnic and linguistic diversities poses a number of problems whose solutions are always difficult to find out. Fast growing population accompanied with maladies of overpopulation not only disturbs the peace and tranquility of the region or country to which it belongs but may pose serious threat to even the survival of the mankind. That is why population planning and human resource development have become the major topics of debate in today's world, particularly in developing countries like India. (Tiwari, R.C. 2005).With its total population of 1027.01 millions (in 2001), which is 16.7 per cent of the world's total population, India is the second largest country of the world after china.
