New Delhi: The world’s population went up by 1 billion in the last 12 years to reach the milestone of 8 billion on Tuesday with India contributing the highest in this period, according to the United Nations’ Population Fund (UNPFA).

A detailed look at the UN numbers reveal that India added a little over 170 million (17 crore) people to its population between 2010-2021 — which is about 17 per cent of the 1 billion people the world has added. India is expected to surpass China to become the world’s most populous country by the next year.

Data also shows that most of India’s contribution has come from two states  — Uttar Pradesh and Bihar — which account for approximately 5 per cent of the world’s latest billion addition.

Other countries are miles behind India in terms of population addition with China coming second (8 crore), followed by Nigeria (5.2 crore), Pakistan (3.7 crore) and Ethiopia (3.08 crore).
