Population Of India Reaches 140 Crores

On World Population Day, India will overtake China as the world's most populous country in 2019. You did indeed hear it correctly! China will be outnumbered by us in terms of population. The population of India has surpassed 140 crores as of this moment.

The Population Division of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs predicts that by mid-November, there will be eight billion people on the planet, followed by 8.5 billion in 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050. The world population is projected to increase at its slowest rate since World War II, peaking at 10.4 billion people in the 2080s and staying there until 2100. In addition, India is anticipated to surpass China as the world's most populous country in 2023. More than half of the projected increase in the global population by 2050 will be concentrated in just eight countries, including India.

Asia currently has 4.7 billion people, accounting for 61% of all people on earth. Africa has 1.3 billion, Europe has 750 million, Latin America and the Caribbean have 650 million, and Oceania has 650 million people (370 million). Northern America and Oceania are home to the remaining 5% of the world's population (43 million).

One of the ten countries with a net migration forecast to exceed 1 million between 2010 and 2021 was India. A number of these countries experienced exodus due to temporary labour migration. Pakistan saw the largest net emigration of people (16.5 million).

According to the 2011 Census, India's population was 1.21 billion. The population of India is presently expected to be above 1.37 billion and will reach over 1,508,525,200,416 in 2022, according to United Nations estimates from 2020 and Worldometer data from 2022. Lakshadweep, with a population of only 68,000, is the least inhabited state, whereas Uttar Pradesh is the most populated with a total of 23.32 crore people. With 3.79 crore residents, Telangana comes in at number twelve, whereas Andhra Pradesh comes in at number ten with 5.3 crores.

The eighth billionth person to inhabit the planet is expected to be born this year, which makes this year's World Population Day (July 11) particularly significant. The UN Secretary-General António Guterres remarked, "This is a time to celebrate our variety, recognise our shared humanity and marvel at advances in health that have extended lifespans and significantly lowered maternal and child death rates."
