On Monday (Oct 31), India will witness the birth of the world's seven billionth baby in Uttar Pradesh. India's population now stands at 121 crore.
During this decade (2001-2011 ), India added 18 crore people to its population as compared to 20 crore between 1991 and 2001.
India's total fertility rate (TFR) is 2.6. This is the average number of children that would be born to a woman over her lifetime.
India expects to reach a TFR of 2.1 by 2060. Around 20 states have achieved the TFR target and seven more are close to the mark, according to Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad.
