Dear Friend . I want to file a public interest litigation dealing with population explosion could you help me in data’s government policies curbing population rise of different states of India and other relevant articals. I will be greatful
Can you please elaborate a little more about what exactly you want. That would be better for me to find what you need.
I am planning to write an article on population taking into account the following aspects :
1. BIMARU states population — gender split up, child population, literacy rate, school drop outs and to find out the reasons there of. A comparative study.
Would you please send the relevant details. You can al
so send data other than the above list, which may be of importance for preparing the article.
This article is to be sent for publication in a research magazine of the country.
Awiting your mail.

Worrying only is not the solution, we must take some kind of steps. However, population bring the young working power also. So as per the view from my balcony, we must enhance the literacy level.
very usefull information, urban and rural split would have worked better.
Why you provide data in string of numbers like 124536562. Why cant you mention the same in 12 Lakhs 15 Crores Like that…
Just write down the 124536562 in words and see how long it becomes. You will get your answer.
Nice reply from Rabin! No end to laziness. Give Mohamed the numbers and he wants you to put in the commas too!!!
the information are very accurate. We should learn something from china, not with respect to crowd but in every field. Top populated states to be warned to adopt family planning with one child per family as mandatory.
Good… India is progressing in all fields…
I LOVE my India.. (L)
