1. Fast growing population has its own implications because it nullifies all achievements in economic and social spheres and is largely responsible for environmental degradation. 

2. It is a Herculean task to provide food, clothing, shelter, health, education and other facilities to a population which grows at a rapid pace. 

3. More than one fourth of our population is living below poverty line. There are 179 million houses for 192 million families. Over 5 million families still depend on rivers and ponds for drinking water. 

4. A large percentage of population suffers from hunger, starvation and malnutrition and does not have access to proper healthcare.
