common models of population growth is the exponential model. These models use functions of the torm p(t) : po€rt‚ wherep6 is the initial population and r > 0 is the rate constant. Because exponential models describe unbounded growth‚ they are unrealistic over long periods of time. Due to shortages of space and resources‚ all populations must eventually have decreasing grovtrth rates. Logistic growth models allow for exponential growth when the population is small. However‚ as the population approaches

population explosion in India India with a current population of 105 crores is nearly bursting at the seams. In August 1947‚ when our country threw off the shackles of colonialism‚ we were a country of 34.5 crore people.
