 1. What is the graph about?

The graph shows India’s population (in millions) from 1901 to 2011.

It explains how the population has increased over different census years.

2011: 1210 million

(Population keeps increasing every decade except 1921.)

3. Analysis of data

Population increased slowly from 1901 to 1941.

After 1951, population increased very fast.

It crossed 1 billion in 2001.

By 2011, it reached 1210 million, showing rapid growth.

4. Findings

India’s population shows a steady and continuous rise over 110 years.

After 1951, the population growth became very high due to improvements in health care, reduced death rates, and longer life expectancy.

Only in 1921, the population decreased slightly.

5. Conclusion / Suggestions

Fast population growth puts pressure on resources, food, jobs, education, and health services.

Suggestions: Promote small families, family planning, and awareness to control population growth.
