Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri – while speaking at the Mayoral U20 summit held last week in Gandhinagar – expressed the need for a new census.
“Our population in 1947 was only 350 million. Today our population should be around 1.4 billion. But 17 per cent of the country’s urban population has risen to 30 per cent. By the time we finish implementing the 2030 Agenda or targets Sustainable development, India must have done it – I don’t know. I haven’t done the exact math and we need another census. “We should have about 600 million people living in urban areas in India,” Puri said while addressing mayors and city leaders from around the world “.
