Explanation

Population explosion is considered the biggest challenge to India's development success because it puts enormous pressure on resources, infrastructure, employment, and social services. While poverty, illiteracy, and unemployment are serious problems, they are both causes and effects of overpopulation. Rapid population growth makes it extremely difficult to improve living standards despite economic progress.
