The increasing growth rate of population and the good state of nutrition and health are possible, thanks to various programmes. The
densely populated areas in the country are Bihar, Maharastra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and TamilNadu. On an average for India
, the density of population is 190 persons per sq.km.Delhi and Chandigarh top the country in terms of density and Kerala is the most
densely populated state in the whole country.
To meet the menace of population explosion, which threatens all the economic and social growth, various schemes have been
introduced both by the states and the Central government . Programmes on family welfare, voluntary sterilization and temporary birth
control are carried on. Efforts are also on to eradicate malnutitirion in the whole of India.
The Indian population is a mixture of people having varied complexions, customs, features and physique, engaged in varied
occupations and speaking different languages. They comprise the tall Kashmiris to the sturdy peasants of Punjab, the dark-colored
ones of Andhra and Tamilnadu to the short statured Nagas.Their way of dressing and their diets vary widely, yet they maintain the
harmony of the one country, which is their
"Bharat".
