Question 4(ii)

Mention two reasons for the increase of population in India.

Answer

Two reasons for the increase of population in India are:

  1. Illiteracy — Most of the rural population which forms the bulk of our society is still illiterate, ignorant and superstitious. They also do not know the functioning of the human reproductive system.
  2. Traditional Beliefs — Among the people from lower strata of the society, children are regarded as a gift of God and a sign of prosperity. Therefore, they make no effort to avoid pregnancy.
