India has a population of about 1.32 billion. Its population is the second largest in the world. China has the largest population of about 1.4 billion. About one sixth of people on this planet live in India. Although the crown(王冠) of the country which has the largest population has been on China's head for several years, India will take the position by 2024.With the population growth rate(率) at 1.2%, India will have more than 1.5 billion people by the end of 2030.
Now more than 50% of India's population are below the age of 25 and over 65%are below the age of 35.About 72.2%of the population live in villages.
Some of the reasons for India's quickly growing population are poverty, illiteracy(无知) , decrease in the death rate and immigration(移民) from Bangladesh and Nepal. India started taking measures to stop the growth rate quite early. India had the" National Family Planning Program" in 1952. It became the first country in the world to have a population policy. However, it failed to reach the final goal(目标) .
