NEPAL'S GROWING POPULATION AND PRPARATION OF STARVATION

Nepal’s Nepal's growing population and growing population and preparation of starvation
In 1981, the population of Nepal was 15 million, in 1991, it reached to 18.5 million and in 2001, it scaled to 23.1 million with an annual growth rate of 2.25 percent. The country like Nepal, where infrastructure of development is uneven, so is the geographic distribution of population. The 7.3 % of population resides in Mountainous region, 44.3 % in hill and 48.4 % in Terai region.
There is and increment in population and its concentration is high in urban areas (municipalities). The number of municipalities also increased from 33 to 36 and by 2001 it reached to 58 with population density of 157 persons per sq. km. This rate of blasting growth of population posed varieties of threats including endemics of tuberculosis. Less than 40% of population is out of reach from the essential health services. The consciousness about using contraceptives and family planning is daydreaming for large volume of population. The way it is projecting it will be doubled in 2012 including all the demographic parameters.
The government is not showing any response to these things, the government itself is increasing its population in cabinet that increased from 205 seats to 312 seats as recommended by new constitution. I wonder the member of house is quite inspired by the population growth rate of Nepal. But I wonder, will the cultivable land of Nepal can meet the consumption of people, or this country heading to starvation though 70% of people rely on agriculture?. Are we ready to be Somalia of Asia?
