Whether you are in a metro station, airport, railway station, road, highway, bus stop, hospital, shopping mall, market temple, or even in a social and religious gathering, we see all these places are over crowed at any time of the day. Due to steep rise in population, there is extreme poverty, unemployment, shortage of land and food, pollution, poor quality of life, migration of population etc. More than 20% of the population don’t have even two square meals of the day what to speck of other facilities. Overpopulation will also place great demands on resources and land, leading to widespread environmental issues in addition to impacting socio-economic conditions and standards of living.
