Major Social Problems in India

CORRUPTION

"Corruption free government is not a necessary condition for rapid economic development. If the corporate and institutions work and uncertainty is checked, progress is possible".

S. Swaminathan

When a person does not do his duty in an honest manner and with morality, we can call him as a corrupt person and this practice can be termed as Corruption.

Corruption is an act done by taking undue advantage of one's position, power or authority to gain certain rewards and favours.

For example, if a teacher is not teaching properly in a class, then this can be called as corruption as well. This is so because the teacher is drawing his/her payments without performing his/her duties appropriately. This holds true for every sector and every field.

POPULATION EXPLOSION

India, being a developing country, has had to face several economic and political challenges. One of the most important problems is the population explosion.

The literal meaning of population is “the whole number of people or inhabitants in a country or region” (Webster’s dictionary)

The literal meaning of population explosion is “a pyramiding of numbers of a biological population” (Webster’s dictionary).

Population Reference Bureau estimated the 6.14 billion world's population in mid 2001.

Contribution of India alone to this population was estimated to be 1033 millions. It is estimated that the country’s population will increase to 1.26 billion by the year 2016.

The projected population indicates that India will be a first most populous country in the world and China will be second in 2050 (Population Reference Bureau, 2001)
