This volume is an outcome of intense academic discussion and debate held on the topic Population, Development and its inter-linkages to environmental issues especially in context of India. This volume contains Thirty one papers divided into Eight sections and that exploring the relationship among the three mentioned dimensions, i.e. population, development and environment. First section presents a theoretical framework of the basic understanding of population, development and environment in Indian contexts; Second section deals with population and its environmental conditions that influences the human health; Third section revolves round the impact of population on agriculture and food security; Fourth section highlighted the pace of urbanization and its impact on agriculture as well as on environment; Fifth section is webbed around population and accessibility of water resource; Sixth section deals with changing land use/land cover pattern due to rapid growth of population; Seventh section especially focused on changing in forestation over spatial and temporal context. Eighth and last section discusses about the status of biodiversity.
