I was interested to know, how many public repositories can be created on GitHub for an individual account (not an organization account). Is their any limit on number of public repositories that can be created on GitHub.

The number of public or private repo is now unlimited. Show activity on this post. Theoretically, everyone can has an unlimited number of public and private repositories even as part of a free plan. Public repositories don't have officially any restrictions even as part of a free plan.
GitHub Free includes unlimited public/private repositories with unlimited collaborators, 2,000 Actions minutes/month, 500MB of GitHub Packages storage, and community support via the forums.
It's easy to create a new project that's backed by multiple GitHub repos. All you have to do is select more than one GitHub repository when you create a new project. It's as simple as that. If instead, you want to add a repository to an already existing project, that's no problem either.
In the upper-right corner of any page, use the drop-down menu, and select New repository. Optionally, to create a repository with the directory structure and files of an existing repository, use the Choose a template drop-down and select a template repository.
THe "What plan should I choose?" page mentions:
GitHub provides two types of plans: free plans and paid plans.
Both plans have the exact same features. They can have any number of public repositories, with unlimited collaborators.
That being said, too much of anything will be eventually detected and reviewed by GitHub in order to check if the service isn't abused.
Update April 2020: as I explained in "Can a repository on GitHub be owned by 2 users?", "GitHub is now free for teams".
The number of public or private repo is now unlimited.
