Abstract

Regardless of the theoretical stances, it is now widely accepted that India's rapid growth in population and its detrimental effects on our quality of life is alarming. We must implement environmental wisdom that improves the living standards and material security of the poorest of people on the planet and ensures that the use of natural resources is evenly distributed throughout the world(Mehta, 1977). Although human resources are essential for development, a sustainable society must have an optimal population to achieve the goals of equity and effectiveness. Factually people are born with the potential to produce and they also have mouths to eat. Humans affect ecosystems by the resources they use such as food, water, wood etc and through wastes such as manure, garbage, and industrial waste water. So it isn't necessary to explain why a growing population needs more houses, schools, hospitals, roads, jobs, etc. If societies cannot keep up with these growing demands, the sociocultural, economic and political environment will deteriorate. On the other hand, when a civilization "succeeds" in meeting the growing needs of a large population, the environment becomes limited. Considering our goal for a sustainable society, therefore, the growing population in some parts of the world should be considered with more concern and seriousness. Population is the only prerequisite for development, as a society needs more people to achieve its development goals. However, in countries where this is not the case, such as India, too many people can stand in the way of progress. This article attempts to reflect the India-centric debate on the development of population pollution by examining contemporary concerns. India has 17.5% of the world's population and 2.4% of the land area. This means that out of every 6 people on earth, 1 is Indian. This shows that India's population is growing significantly and the economy is not keeping up with this rapid growth. In other words, India is experiencing a population explosion and people are caught in a web of illiteracy and poverty. The purpose of this forecast is to help the country to curb population explosion and create positive results in many other areas such as good environment, rich nature etc. The socioeconomic impact of our country's resources, decent jobs, proper literacy rate, with high levels of growth and quality education among the growing population is most needed.
