‘Resources’, ‘calamities’, and ‘disasters ’ are all meaningful only in relation to human beings.
Their numbers, distribution, growth, and characteristics or qualities provide the basic background for understanding and appreciating all aspects of the environment.
Human beings are producers and consumers of the earth’s resources . Therefore, it is important to know how many people are there in a country, where they live, how and why their numbers are increasing, and what are their characteristics.
The census of India provides us with information regarding the population of our country.
