India accounts for about 2.4% of the total geographical area of the world but supports the second largest population of the world, what are its implications? Explain.

It is true that India accounts for about 2.4% of the total geographical area of the world, but actually supports the second largest population of the world. There are many implications which are responsible for this situation.

These are as follows

(i) Overcrowding causes overutilization of resources.

(ii) Population density is very high, causing multiple problems of availability of resources.

(iii) Higher population leads to inadequate per capita income and lower economic development as compared to developed and less populated countries.
