ABSTRACT Population is an asset of a country's economic development which is growing rapidly.The earth is increasing population by 90 million per year and get we till we have 5.9 billion people left to feed and to give shelter (Mitchel-1998). Along with the increase in the population, there are also more people on the earth who are living longer lives.The global population boom has coincided with the improvement of health, and of agro-productivity, around the world.On average, the population today lives longer,eats bitter, produces more and consumes more than of any other time period in past (Ederstadt -1995). Agriculture feeds people, but will it be able to feed the expanding global population, especially with its exponential increase. The study area,East Champaran covers an area of 3968.1sq.km with 4.2% area and population of 50,82,868 with 4.90%(2011) of Bihar respectively.The district is predominantly stretched along the Gandak basin which provides an ideal agricultural ground for better agro-produce and livelihood to the larger population by using agro-biotechnology. Minimizing agricultural areas though intensification would seem like a great idea for pressurising more land. Technology has been viable part of higher productivity on Agriculture. Innovations and implementation of agro-tools genetically modified seeds, modern agro-techniques make mechanised farming for raising yields sustainably. But modern technology is the key to ensuring sustainable agriculture for increasing population. Unfortunately, yields have been decreasing while population continues to grow. Along with, rapid population growth, there is a increasing demand for a more calorie filled diet specially with the unprecedented rise in affluence in the district. Hence the study is completely based on analytical methodas as well as collection of primary and secondary data which explains the impact of population growth over agricultural development of local produce in the study area. The data based information has been collected through the field survey under the study area which replete with appropriate statistical and cartographical method coupled with maps, diagrams, and tables which aptly justify the methodology. This, it can be said that the population growth over agro-development is perfectly visible on the socio-economic life of the people and opened a new vistas for future generation. Undoughtedly, the rapid population growth affects the acceleration and upliftment of agro-development.
