In addition to being one of the most polluted nations in the world, India is also one of the most populous. Over population can lead to issues of sanitation, water supply shortages, pressure on eco systems and it contributes heavily to climate change. While India has had population control policies since the 1950’s, India remains one of the largest populations in the world and will pass China as the most populous country in the world within the next 4o years.
