The abuse and degradation of land and its resources come along with the increase of population. The bigger the population gets, the greater the need for the cultivation of the resources to sustain the living. A conception is being believed that the more bigger the population is of a nation, the higher and better its workforce is, so the more resources is created for the population consumption. With the increase of workforce and the discovery of higher technology though, the abuse of the land and the environment becomes an issue. It is then pretty much observable that there is a huge connection between the population and land use.

4. What was Nehrus perspective on Indias population and population control policy
For some analysts, they would say that it would be of advantage for a country to have a bigger population to cultivate its resources so the whole populace would have something for consumption but Nehru is completely in contrast with what some analysts claim. In Nehrus point of view, it would be better for India if there would be lesser people inhabiting and cultivating its richness. For him it is not how many inhabitants a country has but how productive they are. A country with a big population of unproductive inhabitants would only turn out to be a big burden.
