Answer- Assam

Assam climate – Arunachal Pradesh and Assam in the northeastern parts of India also have rains between 25 mm and 50 mm during these winter months.

Nor Westers: These are dreaded evening thunderstorms in Bengal and Assam. Their notorious nature can be understood from the local nomenclature of ‘Kalbaisakhi’, a calamity of the month of Baisakh.

Sometimes political parties grow out of movements. For example, when the Assam movement led by students against the ‘foreigners’ came to an end, it led to the formation of the Asom Gana Parishad. The roots of parties like the DMK and the AIADMK in Tamil Nadu can be traced to a long-drawn social reform movement during the 1930s and 1940s.

Bhutan is the only country in the world to officially proclaim the Gross National Happiness (GNH) as the measure of the country’s progress. Material progress and technological developments are approached more cautiously taking into consideration the possible harm they might bring to the environment or the other aspects of the cultural and spiritual life of the Bhutanese. This means merely material progress cannot come at the cost of happiness. GNH encourages us to think of the religious, non-material and qualitative aspects of development.

Benefits of low population

Countries like India have their advantages of stabilising the population. The people of the nation is already more in proportion to the resources available. Increasing people in the country, lack resources besides increasing poverty, the failure of government schemes, increasing crime, the financial burden on the nation and rising unemployment.

In such a situation, if the population is stable, poverty and unemployment can be overcome in the next 20 years due to the current growth rate.

Disadvantage of Low population

There is also its challenges to be stable in birth rates, due to the low population growth Social structure can be unbalanced.

At the same time, the sex ratio can also be disturbed, due to which the number of working people will not be available, the government has to make preparations to deal with this circumstances.
