| Poverty is the main problem in India. It’s severity is increasing, day-by-day. Unemployement is the major cause of poverty. Unutilisation of existing manpower means missing of an increase in wealth which would otherwise be held. Again, unemployment may lead to social unrest.
The problem lies in the fact that, India is having 17 percent world population but only 2.4 percent global land. No doubt, a noticeable economic development has been achieved since independence, but it has been eaten away by increasing population. Therefore, a two-way approach is needed, i.e. the rate of development should be increased, while the increase in population must be lessened, if not stopped at all. |
