The world reached its first billion in 1804, and its second billion in 1927. In 1999, the United Nations predicted that a world population of seven billion would not be reached until 2013, but it was eventually reached in 2011. The population in 2050 was also estimated at around 8.9 billion people, but new research shows it could reach 9.3 billion. Today in India, family planning and awareness about overpopulation are among the most important roles in reducing India's population. Indian television programs and newspapers also emphasize the importance of solving this problem. India's overpopulation causes poverty, disease and hunger. The government cannot meet the demands for housing, jobs and food of its 1.27 billion citizens. Among other things, education programs are one of the most important ways to improve India's overpopulation problems. It was drawn attention to the fact that India was overpopulated in 1951.

Today in India, small families are encouraged, education is improving, traditions are modernizing, and birth control is increasingly becoming an option. Future forecasts do not yet show that the population will decrease, but with more improvements in solutions to solve the problem, the population growth rate is expected to decrease. Today, India faces poverty, hunger and disease due to the country's large number of people. The government cannot provide enough money or education to solve these problems, and if successful changes are not made, the country will fall into more poverty and its own problems will begin to affect other countries as well..
