ABSTRACT
There exists a close and reciprocal relationship between population growth and economic development in a country. The population in one way constitutes a source of labor that could be utilized to boost the country’s production. On the other hand, it could also be seen as a consumer group that uses and exhausts a large quantity of the country’s resources. However, certain economists from the earlier times have pointed out that the increase of population and the rapid growth of population in a country is tied to its economy. The main objective of this research is to explore the underlying factors related to population exploitation and to assess the effects of population exploitation on the Indian economy. For the purpose of this study empirical research is used to accurately portray the impact of population growth.

But the pessimists express the view that if a country is to reach a proper state of development, the speed of population growth should be reduced. it is clear that although a steadily growing population might appear to be a hindrance to a country’s economic development, most of the countries have in practice accepted their population as a blessing.
