India has a population of over 1.2 billion people as of 2011 according to census data, making it the second most populous country in the world. While India's overall population growth rate has declined in recent decades, the population is still increasing by over 180 million each decade. Approximately 70% of Indians live in rural areas, though urbanization is rising. A concern is the declining child sex ratio, with only 914 females for every 1000 males under age 6.
Census 2011 was India's 15th census and 7th post-independence. It recorded India's population as 1,210,726,932, an increase of 181.96 million from 2001. Key findings included that 17 states grew over 20% last decade, the child population was nearly stable, and literacy rates increased nationwide with the largest gains in northeastern states. It also provided detailed data on population characteristics like gender ratios, scheduled castes and tribes, and levels of employment.
- India has had a long history of population growth, with estimates of the population reaching as high as 5-6 million as early as 5000 BCE. Major cities of the Indus Valley civilization may have been among the most populous in the ancient world.
- Famine, disease, and natural disasters caused population fluctuations over the centuries. The population was estimated at around 125 million in the early 18th century and grew to over 350 million by the mid-20th century according to census data.
- Factors like improved public health measures, increasing literacy rates, and family planning programs contributed to changing demographics like decreasing mortality and fertility rates in modern India. The population grew to over 1.2 billion according to the
The document provides a summary of key population statistics from the 2011 Indian census:
- India's total population in 2011 was 1.21 billion with a decadal growth rate of 17.67%
- The rural population was 83.35 crores and urban was 37.71 crores, with equal growth of 91 million each
- Uttar Pradesh had the largest rural population of 155.3 million and Maharashtra the largest urban of 50.8 million
This document provides demographic statistics about India. It shows that as of July 2014, India had a population of over 1.2 billion people, making it the second most populous country in the world. The population density is 382 people per square kilometer. The growth rate is 1.25% annually. Key facts include a birth rate of 20 births per 1000 people, a death rate of 7.4 deaths per 1000, and a life expectancy of 68.89 years. The largest states by population are Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh.
India has experienced rapid population growth over the past century. The population grew from around 24 crore in 1901 to over 121 crore in 2011, an increase of over 400%. Three periods of population growth can be identified: stagnant growth from 1901-1921, slow growth from 1921-1951, and rapid growth from 1951-1991. While the annual growth rate has declined since 1991, India's large population size means it continues to face challenges of population explosion. There are also regional variations, with some states like Kerala and Punjab experiencing much lower growth due to development and family planning programs. Reaching the goal of population stabilization by 2045 will require continued efforts.
6 Population in India
Introduction :
India is a developing country. The rate of economic development of a country depends on its quantitative and qualitative growth which can be measured in terms of population, national income, per capita income etc.
Population refers to the number of people living in an area at a given point of time. Population of India is measured once in every ten years through a census survey. According to 2011 census, India’s population was 121.02 crores. India ranks second in the world next to China.
India has 17.5% of the world population but it occupies only 2.4% of the world's land area. Population stastistics are compiled and published by the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India.
This document discusses key population trends in India based on census data from 1951-2011. It notes that India's population has grown significantly from 361 million in 1951 to over 1.2 billion in 2011, while maintaining a high birth rate and declining death rate. Other trends discussed include population density increasing from 117 to 382 persons per square km from 1951-2011, a declining child population and rising elderly population, improved life expectancy, and increasing literacy rates especially for females.
This document analyzes the population distribution and educational status of Muslims in West Bengal, India. Some key points:
- West Bengal has the 3rd highest percentage of Muslims in India at 25% of the state's population.
- Muslims in West Bengal are largely rural, less urbanized compared to Muslims in other parts of India. There are only two districts where Muslims make up over 50% of the population.
- Literacy rates and educational attainment are lower for Muslims in West Bengal overall. Districts with higher Muslim populations tend to have lower literacy rates.
- The document examines population growth trends and debates around this for Muslims in India using census data from 1991-2001. Adjusted figures show

The document summarizes key population trends and statistics from around the world:
1) The world population reached 7.2 billion in 2014, with 6 billion living in less developed countries and 1.2 billion in more developed countries. The total fertility rate worldwide is 2.5 children per woman.
2) The top 10 most populous countries in 2014 are China, India, United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia, and Japan. Niger has the highest fertility rate at 7.6 children per woman while Taiwan has the lowest at 1.1.
3) Significant progress has been made in reducing infant mortality worldwide from 80 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1970 to 38
This document discusses social indicators like sex ratio, birth rate, and death rate in several countries. It provides key statistics for each country, such as India's 2011 sex ratio of 940 females per 1000 males and Bangladesh having 100.3 males for every 100 females. Birth rates are influenced by social and economic factors, while death rates depend on access to healthcare and infrastructure. Infant mortality rates reflect a country's development level, with the US goal to reduce the under-5 mortality rate by two-thirds by 2015.
The document discusses issues related to adolescents and youth populations around the world. It notes that over 1.2 billion people are between the ages of 10-19, and highlights challenges they face including lack of access to education, child marriage, and sexual and reproductive health risks. The document calls for supporting adolescents by investing in their well-being, empowering them, and ensuring their rights are upheld.
India has experienced rapid population growth over the past century. The population grew from 361 million in 1951 to over 1.2 billion in 2011, representing growth rates of over 20% per census. Currently, 30% of India's population lives in urban areas, though the urbanization rate is growing at 2.4% annually. Literacy rates and life expectancy have also increased over time but still vary significantly between states. The population is ethnically diverse and includes Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, and other groups. Rapid population growth presents challenges like gender discrimination but also opportunities if India can provide jobs, schools and resources for its large youth population.
The document discusses demographic transition and demographic dividend. It begins by explaining demographic transition as the stages a country goes through when transitioning from non-industrial to industrial. It then defines demographic dividend as the economic growth resulting from changes in a country's population age structure, mainly when the working age population is larger than the non-working populations. The document provides details on India's current demographic dividend, including that India has one of the youngest populations globally and its working age population recently grew larger than the dependent population. Finally, it discusses the challenges of an aging global population, including rising healthcare costs and fewer working age people to support more retired individuals.
Pakistan has a population of over 160 million that is growing at a rate of 1.9% annually. Some key demographic statistics include:
- Life expectancy is 64 years for males and 63.8 years for females
- The population is expected to double within the next 32 years if growth continues
- Major ethnic groups are Punjabi, Pashtun, Sindhi, and Urdu speakers
- Nearly all (97%) of Pakistanis are Muslim, mostly Sunni with a large Shi'a minority
- Rapid population growth is straining resources and increasing issues like unemployment, poverty, and environmental degradation.
India’s on its way to being the world’s most populous country. The current population contributes to 17% of the global population.
According to the final report of the National Commission on Population (NCP) on population projections dated July 2020, India’s population is expected to grow by 25% (reference to 2011), to 1.52 billion by 2036.
An Insight into the demographic trends of India using various demographic indicators ( Sex Ratio,Dependency Ratio, Urbanization, Family Size, Literacy Rate and Life Expectancy).
There is also brief introduction of basics of demography along with the demographic cycle.
World population reached 7.5 billion in 2017 and is projected to continue growing, though more slowly, reaching 8 billion by 2025 and possibly 11 billion by 2100. The annual growth rate peaked in the 1960s at 2% but has since declined to about 1.1% currently. India has the second largest population in the world at over 1.2 billion according to the 2011 census, and its population is projected to surpass China's in the coming decades.
India's population has grown significantly over the past century and is projected to surpass China's population by 2050. Key points:
- India's population doubled from 361 million in 1951 to 846 million in 1991 and reached over 1.2 billion in 2011.
- The population growth rate has declined but population continues to rise rapidly due to the large youth population.
- India's age structure is characterized by a broad base and tapering top on age pyramids, indicative of developing countries with high birth rates.
- Sex ratios in India have historically been unfavorable to women and declined further over time, indicating a preference for male children.
The document discusses key concepts in demography including population growth rates, fertility rates, and factors influencing population trends. It notes that world population grew slowly until 1800 but has accelerated since then. Several South Asian countries now rank among the most populous globally. Factors like education, family planning services, and changes in marriage patterns have contributed to declining fertility rates in many countries. Common metrics used to measure fertility include crude birth rate, total fertility rate, and age-specific fertility rates. India's population growth rate increased in the early 20th century as death rates fell faster than birth rates.
Structure and Composition of population in IndiaSOHAILAHAMED1
The document discusses the population structure and composition of India. It explains that population structure is represented using a population pyramid and examines India's population composition in terms of sex, age, caste, language, and religion. Key points covered include India's sex ratio, age structure divided among different age groups, religious and linguistic diversity, and regional differences in population characteristics.
The document discusses population growth trends globally and in Bangladesh. Some key points:
- World population is expected to reach 9.08 billion by 2050, with most growth occurring in developing countries. Fertility rates are declining globally.
- Population growth initially stimulates development but can later inhibit it by reducing resources per capita.
- Bangladesh population grew from 17 million in 1700 to over 142 million in 2011, and is projected to reach 226 million by 2050, making it one of the most densely populated countries.
- Bangladesh has experienced a demographic transition with falling fertility rates, from over 7 children per woman in 1960 to 2.5 currently. Life expectancy is also rising.
Rulers class to meet their own personal interestmdafsarali
The document summarizes how India's ruling class has failed to meet the expectations of the people after independence in several key areas:
1. Politically, democracy has lost its soul of representation, with weaker communities and women making up a small minority in legislature.
2. Economically, GDP growth has declined sharply while inflation and wealth disparity have increased drastically.
3. In foreign policy, relations with neighbors have become strained by abruptly shifting policies designed to win elections rather than benefit the people.
4. Public assets are being increasingly privatized while corruption and bank fraud have risen tremendously.
India has a quasi-federal parliamentary democratic republic government comprised of 29 states and 7 union territories. The government has 3 branches - executive, legislative, and judicial. The executive is headed by a President and Prime Minister. The bicameral legislative parliament consists of the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha. The independent judiciary is headed by the Supreme Court.
This document provides an overview of key development indicators and challenges in India, as well as details on World Bank programs and support for India. Some key points:
- India has seen high growth but also has wide disparities, with over 300 million people living below the poverty line.
- World Bank support focuses on infrastructure development, improving conditions in lagging states, strengthening the financial sector to support SMEs, and making service delivery more effective.
- Major World Bank projects include investments in transportation, power, and urban development to address infrastructure bottlenecks constraining growth. Assistance also targets agriculture, education, health, and other social sectors.
- Moving forward, addressing regional disparities, skills development,
This document summarizes key concepts in demography and population trends in India. It discusses that nearly 3/4 of the world's population lives in developing countries. In India, the population reached 1 billion in 2000 and is growing by 16 million per year through births. The demographic cycle describes 5 stages of population growth from high stationary to declining rates. Current trends show India's population will reach 10 billion by 2050, with over 1 billion people in 2007. The population is aging with more elderly and fewer children. Literacy rates have improved but regional differences remain.
The document discusses several issues related to women's rights and gender discrimination in India. It notes that while the Indian constitution guarantees equality, in practice there remains a large gulf in gender justice. Successive governments have done little to improve the situation. India ranks poorly on gender equality indices and crimes against women such as rape are still common. While some laws have been strengthened after recent reforms, women remain reluctant to report crimes due to security, social and other barriers. The document argues that more needs to be done to protect women's rights and remove barriers to justice in India.

This document summarizes a study on the national demographic goal of replacement fertility in India and the fertility dynamics of Kuki tribes in Manipur. The study found that the total fertility rate of Kuki tribes was 4.2 children per woman, far above the national goal of 2.1. Through logistic regression, the study identified four main factors causing failure to meet the national goal: low education levels of wives, increasing age of wives, early age at marriage of wives, and preference for male children resulting from families with two daughters being more likely to have a third birth. The national goal of replacement level fertility has thus not been achieved among the Kuki tribes due to socio-cultural factors like son preference and women's education and
India attained independence on August 15, 1947. While India has made progress economically, socially, and technologically, it still faces major problems like poverty, unemployment, and inflation. Poverty is one of the biggest challenges, with over 24 crore people estimated to live in poverty in 2010-2011. The main causes of poverty are increasing population, lack of utilization of natural resources, and an unwise economic policies of the government. Unemployment and low productivity also contribute to a vicious cycle of poverty. Population explosion is a key reason for many of India's economic issues.

The document discusses population growth and its impacts in India. It notes that India currently has over 1.3 billion people and is projected to surpass China as the world's most populous country by 2024. Rapid population growth is straining resources and creating issues like unemployment, food and housing shortages, pollution, and displacement from climate change impacts. Solutions proposed to control population growth include increasing access to education and healthcare, promoting family planning, raising the status of women, and improving living standards through employment opportunities and economic development.
India has an extremely diverse population of over 1 billion people as of 2001. Some key points:
- India has high population density, with West Bengal being the most densely populated state.
- The gender ratio favors males, with the overall ratio being 933 females to 1000 males in 2001.
- Literacy rates have increased over time but are still relatively low, with the overall rate at 65.4% and only 53.6% for females in 2001.

DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF CONTINENTAL ODISHAKamlesh Kumar
This document provides demographic information about continental Odisha, India. It includes maps showing the variation in total population, population growth, population density, sex ratio, household size, and literacy rate across districts. The highest population is in Cuttack district, while the lowest is in Debagarh. Malkangiri has the highest population growth at 21.6%, and Bargarh the lowest at 10.02%. Cuttack also has the highest population density. Rayagada has the highest sex ratio at 1048 females per 1000 males, while Nayagarh has the lowest at 916 females per 1000 males. Physical, social, and economic factors contribute to variations between districts.
This document summarizes key population data from the 2011 Indian Census regarding urban areas in India. Some of the key points include:
- There are over 377 million people living in urban areas in India, comprising 31.16% of the total population.
- The largest urban areas are the three mega cities of Greater Mumbai, Delhi, and Kolkata, with populations over 10 million each.
- 53 urban areas have populations over 1 million each, known as Million Plus Cities, containing 42.6% of India's urban population.
- Literacy rates are higher in urban versus rural areas of India, though there is still a gap between male and female literacy nationally.
A population is defined as a group of organisms of the same species living in the same area and able to interbreed. India's population as of 2001 was over 1 billion people, unevenly distributed across the country with states like Uttar Pradesh being highly populated and others like Sikkim and Lakshadweep having much smaller populations. Population growth is influenced by birth rates, death rates, and migration patterns in a country over time.
India has experienced rapid population growth in recent decades. The population reached over 1.21 billion according to the 2011 census, making India the second most populous country. Population growth is driven by a historical high birth rate and declining death rate. This rapid growth creates challenges for development by increasing demand for resources. Efforts are needed to reduce population growth through expanding education and employment, especially for women, as well as improving public health, access to family planning services, and social security for the elderly.

India has the second largest population in the world with over 1.21 billion people according to the 2011 census. It is projected to surpass China as the world's most populous country by 2025. India's population growth rate is 1.41% and over half of Indians are under 25 years old. A census systematically collects and records information about members of a population and occurs regularly to count a particular population.
This document discusses population distribution, density, growth and composition in India. It notes that India has a highly uneven population distribution, with some states like Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra having a very large share of total population, while some northeastern states have a very small share despite large geographical areas. Population density in India has steadily increased over the decades and varies widely across states. India's population growth has occurred in distinct phases from 1901-2011, with the post-1981 period seeing a gradual decline in growth rate. Regional variations in growth rates exist across states as well. Adolescent population is a significant share that faces various challenges. The National Youth Policy aims to empower and develop India's large youth and adolescent population.
Urbanization refers to the gradual shift in populations from rural to urban areas. It began during the Industrial Revolution due to job opportunities in cities and factories. Since then, the process has continued and accelerated due to factors like improved transportation, infrastructure development, and migration driven by lack of rural jobs. Today over half the world's population lives in urban areas, and urbanization is a major trend in developing countries as more seek opportunities in cities. India has seen significant urbanization driven by industrialization, which concentrates jobs and people in urban centers.
Rapid urbanization is causing problems due to increased city consumption and migration consequences. Urbanization is leading to higher consumption in cities which is straining resources. The large influx of migrants to cities is also having consequences for both cities and rural areas.

Public deposits refer to unsecured deposits that companies solicit from the public in order to finance working capital needs. Companies offer interest rates on public deposits that are higher than bank rates. There are regulations governing public deposits, including restrictions on maximum deposit amounts, interest rates that can be offered based on deposit duration, and disclosure requirements in deposit advertisements. Companies must comply with rules regarding public deposits before accepting them, such as minimum/maximum deposit periods, limits on deposit amounts, and details to include in deposit receipts.
Redeemable preference shares are shares that must be repaid by the company according to the terms of issue. A company can only redeem preference shares from undistributed profits or through a fresh issue of shares. If shares are redeemed from profits, the nominal value must be transferred to a capital redemption reserve. Redeemable preference shares can be redeemed either entirely from a fresh issue, entirely from profits, or partially from both. A company cannot issue preference shares that are irredeemable or redeemable after 20 years.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

1. India is the second most populous country in the world with nearly a fifth of the world's population. According to the
United Nations in July 2016, the population stood at 1,326,801,576.
India is projected to be the world's most populous country by 2022, surpassing China, its population reaching 1.7
billion by 2050. Thus, India is expected to become the first political entity in history to be home to more than 1.5
billion people. Its population growth rate is 1.2%, ranking 94th in the world in 2013. The Indian population had
reached the billion mark by 1998.
India has more than 50% of its population below the age of 25 and more than 65% below the age of 35. It is
expected that, in 2020, the average age of an Indian will be 29 years, compared to 37 for China and 48 for Japan;
and, by 2030, India's dependency ratio should be just over 0.4.
India has more than two thousand ethnic groups,[11]
and every major religion is represented, as are four
major families of languages (Indo-European, Dravidian, Austroasiatic and Sino-Tibetan languages) as well as
two language isolates (the Nihali language spoken in parts of Maharashtra and the Burushaski language spoken in
parts of Jammu and Kashmir).
Further complexity is lent by the great variation that occurs across this population on social parameters such as
income and education. Only the continent of Africa exceeds the linguistic, genetic and cultural diversity of the nation
of India.
The sex ratio is 944 females for 1000 males (2016).
Rural population (% of total population) in India
Rural population (% of total population) in India was last measured at 67.25 in 2015,
according to the World Bank. Rural population refers to people living in rural areas as defined
by national statistical offices. It is calculated as the difference between total population and
urban population.This page has the latest values, historical data, forecasts, charts, statistics,
an economic calendar and news for Rural population (% of total population) in India.
Population history
It has been estimated that the population was about 100 million in 1600 and remained nearly static until the late 19th
century. It reached 255 million according to the first census taken in 1881.
Studies of India's population since 1881 have focused on such topics as total population, birth and death ra tes,
growth rates, geographic distribution, literacy, the rural and urban divide, cities of a million, and the three cities with
populations over eight million: Delhi, Greater Mumbai (Bombay), and Kolkata (Calcutta).
Mortality rates fell in the period 1920–45, primarily due to biological immunisation. Other factors included rising
incomes, better living conditions, improved nutrition, a safer and cleaner environment, and better official health
policies and medical care.
Occupation of land
India occupies 2.41% of the world's land area but supports over 18% of the world's population. At the 2001 census
72.2% of the population[19]
lived in about 638,000 villages[20]
and the remaining 27.8%[19]
lived in more than 5,100
towns and over 380 urban agglomerations.[21]
India's population has exceeded that of the entire continent of Africa by 200 million people.[22]
However, because
Africa's population growth is nearly double that of India, it is expected to surpass both China and India by 2025.
The Census of India 2001 has been an historic and epoch making census, being the first census of the third
millennium. It has produced wealth of data on the state of abundant human resources inhabiting the country, their
demographic and economic structure, social and other characteristics.
2. The total geo-graphical area of the country is 3,287,240 sq.km. This includes 120,849 sq. km. of area under the
illegal occupation of Pakistan and China. The largest state in India in terms of geographical area is Rajasthan with
an area of 342,239 sq.km.
The total population of India at the 00.00 hours of 1st March 2001 stood at 1,028,737,436 comprising
532,223,090 males and 496,514,346 females.
At the International level, India accounts only 2.4 percent of the world surface are and yet it supports and sustains
16.9 percent of the world population. In 150 China with 22 percent of population led the world followed by India with
14.2 percent. It is estimated that by 2050, India will overtake China to become the most populous country on the
earth with about 17.2 percent population living here.
Uttar Pradesh with a population of more than 166 million holds distinction of being the most populous state in the
country followed by Maharashtra (97 million) and Bihar (83 million). The other large states, in terms of population
size are West Bengal (80 million),Andhra Pradesh (76 million), Tamil Nadu (62 million), Madhya Pradesh (60
million), Rajasthan (57 million) and Gujarat (51 million). These states together account for 76 percent of the total
population of the country.
Among the union territories, Delhi (13.8 million) ranks first in terms of population whereas Lakshadweep with a
population of 60,650 occupies the lowest rank.
The population of the country is on the rise. India lives in its villages. Due to diverse geographical terrain the size of
the villages in small, in plain areas the villages tend to be bigger. Out of a total of 5.94 lakh inhabited villa ges in the
country, the largest number of villages (1.45 lakh)are in the population size group of 500-999 persons, followed by
the groups 100-1999 (1.30 lakh) and 200-499 (1.28 lakh). There are 3,961 villages, which have a population of
10,000 persons or more.

The level of urbanisation increased from27.81 per cent in the 2001 Censusto 31.16 per cent in the 2011 Census,while
the proportion of ruralpopulation declined from72.19 per cent to 68.84 per cent.
“The slowing down of the overallgrowthrateof population isdueto the sharp decline in the growth ratein rural areas,
while the growthratein urban areasremainsalmostthe same,”Mr.Chandramoulisaid.

5. India’s population has jumped to 1.21 billion, showing an increase by more than 181 million during the 2001-2011
decade, according to the provisional data of Census 2011 which was released on Thursday. Though the country’s
population isalmostequalto the combined population of theU.S.,Indonesia,Brazil,Pakistan,Bangladesh and Japan put
together [1214.3 million], the silver lining is that 2001-2011 is the first decade with the exception of 1911-1921 which has
actually added lesser population compared to the previous decade.
Of the total provisional population of 1210.2 million, the number of males was pegged at 623.7 million and the
population of females stood at 586.5 million. The percentage growth in 2001-2011 was 17.64 – males 17.19 and females
18.12. India’s population accounts for world’s 17.5 per cent population. The provisional data of Census 2011 was
released by the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India C. Chandramouli in the presence of Union Home
Secretary G. K. Pillai.
``Provisionalpopulation isarrived atby adding the population as reported by each enumerator and the final population
data is likely to be released next year,’’ Dr. Chandramouli told reporters here.
6. Uttar Pradesh most populous state
Among the States and Union Territories, Uttar Pradesh is the most populous State with 199 million people followed by
Maharashtra at112 million peopleand Lakshadweep is theleast populated at 64,429 persons.The combined population
of U.P. and Maharashtra is greater than that of the U.S.
The percentage decadal growth rates of the six most populous States have declined during 2001-2011 as compared to
1991-2001. The graph of population growth in U.P. shows a decline from 25.85 per cent to 20.09 per cent, in
Maharashtra from 22.73 per cent to 15.99 per cent, Bihar from 28.62 per cent to 25.07 per cent, West Bengal from 17.77
per cent to 13.93 per cent, Andhra Pradesh from 14.59 per cent to 11.10 per cent and Madhya Pradesh from 24.26 per
cent to 20.30 per cent. ``This shows that we have added population but the growth has been less,’’ Dr. Chandramouli
said.
Sex-ratio at national level increases
Overall sex ratio at the national level has increased by seven points to reach 940 as provisional data for Census 2011
showed as against 933 in Census 2001. Increase in sex ratio was observed in 29 States/Union Territories.
Kerala with 1084 hasthe highestsex ratio followed by Puducherry with 1038. Daman and Diu has the lowest sex ratio of
618. ``This is the highest sex ratio at the national level since Census 1971 and a shade lower than 1961. Three major
States – Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar and Gujarat – have shown a decline in sex ratio as compared to Census 2001,’’ Dr.
Chandramouli said. India’s skewed sex ratio due to female foeticide and the practice of selective sex determination has
been a cause for concern. Sex ratio is the number of females per 1000 males.
Child sex ratio a concern
However, the areas of grave concern, Dr. Chanramouli said, remains the lowest ever child sex ratio of 914. The
provisional data showed that the child sex ratio [0 to 6 years] came down to 914 females per 1000 males as against 927
in the Census2001. It showed a continuing preferenceformale children overfemales in the last decade. Increasing trend
in the child sex ratio wasseen in Punjab,Haryana,HimachalPradesh,Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Mizoram and Andaman and
NicobarIsland but in all the remaining 27 States / Union Territories, the child sex ratio showed decline over Census 2001.
Whereas overall sex ratio has shown improvement since 1991, decline in child sex ratio has been unabated since 1961
Census. The total number of children in 0 to 6 year age group is now 158.8 million, less by five million since 2001.
Literacy rate has gone up from 64.83 per cent in 2001 to 74.04 per cent, showing an increase of 9.21 percentage points.
LINGUISTIC DEMOGRAPHICS
41.03% of theIndiansspeakHindi while the rest speakAssamese,Bengali,Gujarati,Kannada,Malayalam,Marathi,Odia,
Punjabi,Tamil,Telugu,Urdu and a variety of otherlanguages.
The languages spoken in India belong to several language families. Indo-Aryan languages account for 75% and
Dravidian accounts for 20%. There are many unclassified languages too.
Most South Indians in rural areas are bilingual, in that they could speak two local languages or atleast a language
7. and a dialect of another language. Many South Indians in urban areas are trilingual. I think the same would be the
case in North India if a person's family/region spoke a language other than Hindi, then the person would grow
speaking Hindi and an additional language.
In addition to this, we are taught two or atleast three languages in schools, which may or may not be languages that
we already know. It's safe to say that most Indians are bilingual/trilingual.
The most spoken languages in India, according to India's census data, are Hindi(422m), Bengali (83m),
Telugu (75m), Marathi (71m), Tamil (60m), Urdu (51m), Gujarati (46m), and Punjabi (29m)
