Answer 1

"Despite the declining trend of the growth rate,the population of India is increasing at a faster rate" .The explanation for the statement is as follows:

The main factor behind the rate of growth of the Indian population has been the rapid decline in death rates. Till 1980, high birth rates and declining death rates led to a large difference between birth rates and death rates resulting in higher rates of population growth. Since 1981, birth rates have also started declining gradually,resulting in a gradual decline in the rate of population growth.
