World Population Day

Whenever we hear the words ‘population’ or ‘population growth’, our mind always throws back replies like ‘it’s a problem’ and that India has a huge population and limited resources. This thought of perceiving population as negative has been systematically drilled into us since childhood.

We say the reason India is still a developing country because of its population. According to current data the population of India is 1.3 billion, which is 17% (approx) of world’s total population. Out of this 1.3 billion population, about 64.9% pollution belong to the working age and 35.2% belong to dependent age. Which means India has a large workforce which when trained properly can contribute extensively to make India a developed nation

Various NGOs and Indian Government are trying to improve the healthcare in rural areas and have by far received success. With the help of various health policies like New born action plan, Home Based New Born Care Operational Guidelines, NHM Policy Planning. India has reduced the infant mortality rate, female mortality rate and has increased the life expectancy rate, but there is still a long way to go. India has a shortage of good administrative professionals who can manage human resources, inventories or can look after supply chain management systems in hospitals. IIHMR from last 20 years has been training graduates and medical professionals to be skilled administrative professionals.”
