I know what you are thinking after reading my title 'Buttery Humans'. I thought a bit that the the population of humans is spreading fast as butter. so as 11th of July is marked as a "World Population Day" but i am writing about the population of India only because i am only aware of it.....
CENSUS
Government of the particular country should have complete information about the number of the persons living in different areas, their age,education, occupations etc.It guides the government to find out how much food material is available for the population of the country and if the stock is not enough what measures should be taken in the near future.In the view of this census is carried out during stipulated years in the particular country. in India ,census of independent India was taken in 1951. since it is conducted regularly after10 years. GROWTH OF POPULATION
According to the 2001 census,population of india is about 102 cores 87 lakhs .India ranks 2nd after china in the world population. About 17% of worlds population lives in india.it can be seen for the graph givin below ,thast the census of 1921 recorded a fall in population .after 1951 there has brnn a rapid growth of population of the country.in period after independece population increased nearly 3 times .the rate of population growthg in india was 2.1% during the decade betwwen 1991-2001.
and now just talk about the some causes of it that why???? is India's population more than others
FEWER KIDS AND MISSING GIRLS
There are actually fewer children under 6 years old in this census (159 million kids) than in the previous, 2001, census (164 million kids). The under-sixes are now 13% of the population, compared with 16% ten years earlier. In a not-so-encouraging development, the numbers have fallen more sharply for little girls than for little boys: it’s 2.1 million fewer boys, but nearly 3 million fewer girls.
That’s nearly a million missing girls, and it suggests selective abortion (and possibly infanticide or neglect), owing probably to a huge cultural son-preference. Every decade since 1961 there’s been a growing disparity between the girls and boys under six. On the positive side, the sex ratio (number of women per thousand men) has improved slightly from 933 to 940, suggesting that older girls and women are surviving better.
LITERACY IMPROVING
Some 82% of males and 65% of females can read, up from 75% and 54% ten years ago. In another ten or twenty years, perhaps, nearly everyone will be literate. This isn’t a brilliant achievement, considering that Sri Lanka did it a long time ago, as did the Indian state of Kerala. But it is an achievement.
