This document discusses population statistics like birth rates, death rates, sex ratios, and mortality rates in several countries. In India, the sex ratio has improved in recent decades but remains unbalanced, and states in South India have a more equal ratio. Bangladesh has slightly more males than females overall but more males in urban areas. Japan's population is decreasing as deaths now exceed births, and it has an aging population and low birth rate. The US birth rate is influenced by access to family planning and benefits of smaller families, while the infant mortality rate has decreased due to public health measures.
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.

India's population in 2011 according to the census was 1.21 billion people. Uttar Pradesh was the most populous state with 199 million people while Sikkim was the least populous with 0.6 million. Half of India's population lives in the five states of Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, West Bengal, and Andhra Pradesh. India's population has grown significantly since 1901 due to high birth rates compared to death rates and internal migration within the country. The population is unevenly distributed across India's area of 3.28 million square kilometers.
India's population as of 2001 was over 1 billion people, accounting for 16.7% of the world's population. Almost half of India's population lives in just five states. Population density varies across India, with the northern plains and Kerala having high densities due to fertile land and rainfall, while other areas have moderate densities. Population growth is influenced by birth rates, death rates, and migration. Important characteristics of India's population include sex ratio, literacy levels, occupation, and health. The National Population Policy aims to promote planned parenthood, reduce infant mortality, and improve access to education and healthcare.

Can you imagine a world without human beings? Who would have utilised resources and created the social and cultural environment? The people are
important to develop the economy and society.
The people make and use resources and are
themselves resources with varying quality. Coal is but a piece of rock, until people were able to invent technology to obtain it and make it a ‘resource’. Natural events like a river flood or Tsunami becomes a ‘disaster’ only when they affect a crowded village or a town. Hence, population is the pivotal element in social studies. It is the point of referance from which all other elements are observed and from which they derive significance and meaning.
‘Resources’, ‘calamities’ and ‘disasters’ are all meaningful only in relation to human beings. Their numbers, distribution, growth and characteristics or qualities provide the basic background for understanding and appreciating all aspects of the environment.
The document discusses India's population distribution, density, growth, and composition based on census data. It notes that almost half of India's population lives in just five states, and the northern plains and Kerala have high population densities due to fertile land and rainfall. India's population has grown steadily from 361 million in 1951 to over 1 billion currently, and may surpass China's population by 2045. Key drivers of growth are birth rates, which have historically exceeded death rates, though both are declining. Migration from rural to urban areas has also contributed to population changes.
The document discusses sex ratios and mortality rates in India, Bangladesh, Japan, and the U.S. It notes that India's sex ratio improved from 933 to 940 females per 1000 males from 2001 to 2011 according to the Indian census, with Kerala having the highest ratio at 1084. Bangladesh's ratio is nearly equal at 100.3 males per 100 females. Japan's population is decreasing due to fewer births and an aging population. Infant mortality is defined as the death of a child under age 1 and is affected by factors like access to healthcare, nutrition, and sanitation.

This PPT is made to increase the knowledge of a person on the topic Population mainly India's Population and all things related to it in a single presentation.
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 a population of over 1.22 billion people as of 2016, making it the second most populous country in the world after China. The 10 most populous states in India are Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Gujarat. The population of India is projected to surpass China's population by 2030 and continue growing to over 1.6 billion people by 2050. The three main drivers of population change in any country are birth rates, death rates, and migration patterns.
Demography is the scientific study of human populations and includes changes in population size, composition, and distribution over time. There are 5 key demographic processes: fertility, mortality, marriage, migration, and social mobility. India currently has a population of over 1.2 billion people that is growing at a rate of 16 million per year. This puts pressure on resources and increases the dependency ratio. Literacy rates and life expectancy have increased over time but challenges remain, such as the low sex ratio resulting from female feticide and infanticide.
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.

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.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
2. What Is population?
•
A population is all the organisms that both
belong to the same group or species and live in
the same geographical area. In ecology the
population of a certain species in a certain area
is estimated using the Lincoln Index. The area
that is used to define a sexual population is
such that inter-breeding is possible between any
pair within the area and more probable than
cross-breeding with individuals from other
areas. Normally breeding is substantially more
common within the area than across the border.
In sociology, population refers to a collection
of human beings. Demography is a social
science which entails the statistical study of
human populations. This article refers mainly
to human population.

Density
by
Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state in India with a
population of more than 166 million, which is more than
the population of India, the sixth most populous country in
the world. Nineteen states of India have a population of
over ten million. On the other hand there are eight states
and union territories in the country that have a
population of less than one million. Almost half of India's
population lives in five states, namely, Uttar Pradesh,
Maharashtra, Bihar, West Bengal, and Andhra Pradesh.
5. Population growth in
India
•India’s population growth rate has decelerated to
17.64 per cent in the decade 2001-11, the slowest rate
of growth this past century, according to the first
results of Census 2011 put out by the registrar-general
of census.
•India’s population in 2011 is estimated to be 1.21
billion, comprising 624 million males and 587 million
females. While the gender imbalance in population
remains, the preliminary census figures show that
India’s female population grew by 18.12 per cent over
the past decade against 17.19 per cent for males.
•India’s literacy rate has gone up from 64.83 per cent
in 2001 to 74.04 per cent in 2011. Literates constitute
74 per cent of the total population aged seven and
above. The sex-ratio, that is number of females per
1,000 males, has improved to 940 from 933 a decade
ago.

8. What is Birth rate ?
Crude birth rate is the nativity or childbirths per
1,000 people per year (in estimation review
points). Another word used interchangeably with
"birth rate" is "natality". When the crude death
rate is subtracted from the crude birth rate, it
reveals the rate of natural increase (RNI).This
number is equal to the rate of population change
(not factoring in migration). It is important to
distinguish between a total or crude birth rate,
which uses all births, typically indicated as births
per 1000, versus an age-specific rate which is
typically indicated as the number of births per
1 000 persons in this age group. The first known
use of the term "birth rate" in the English
language was in 1859. The birth rate is typically
the main variable in assessing the rate of
population growth.
10. What is Death Rate ?
Mortality rate is a measure of the number
of deaths (in general, or due to a specific cause) in a
population, scaled to the size of that population, per
unit time. Mortality rate is typically expressed in
units of deaths per 1000 individuals per year; thus, a
mortality rate of 9.5 in a population of 100,000
would mean 950 deaths per year in that entire
population, or 0.95% out of the total. It is distinct
from morbidity rate, which refers to the number of
individuals in poor health during a given time
period (the prevalence rate) or the number of newly
appearing cases of the disease per unit of time
(incidence rate). The term "mortality" is also
sometimes inappropriately used to refer to the
number of deaths among a set of diagnosed hospital
cases for a disease or injury, rather than for the
general population of a country or ethnic group.
This disease mortality statistic is more precisely
referred to as "case fatality".
13. Age Composition
•Children :- They are economically
unproductive and need to be provided with
food, clothing, education and medical care.
•Working Age :- They are economically
productive and biologically reproductive.
They comprise the working population.
•Aged :- They are economically productive
though they and may have retired. They may
be working voluntarily but they are not
available for employment through
recruitment.
14. Sex Ratio
Sex ratio is the ratio of males to females in
a population. The primary sex ratio is the ratio at
the time of conception, secondary sex ratio is the
ratio at time of birth, and tertiary sex ratio is the
ratio of mature organisms.
The human sex ratio is of particular interest to
anthropologists and demographers. In humans the
secondary sex ratio is commonly assumed to be
105 boys to 100girls (which sometimes is shortened to
"a ratio of 105"). In human societies, however, sex
ratios at birth may be considerably skewed by
factors such as the age of mother at birth, and
by sex-selective abortion and infanticide. The CIA
estimates that the current world wide sex ratio at
birth is 107 boys to 100 girls. In 2010, the global sex
ratio was 986 females per 1,000 males and trended
to reduce to 984 in 2011.
16. What Is Literacy ?
Literacy has been described as the ability to read for
knowledge and write coherently and think critically about
the written word. Literacy can also include the ability to
understand all forms of communication, be it body
language, pictures, video & sound (reading, speaking,
listening and viewing). Evolving definitions of literacy
often include all the symbol systems relevant to a
particular community. Literacy encompasses a complex set
of abilities to understand and use the dominant symbol
systems of a culture for personal and community
development. In a technological society, the concept of
literacy is expanding to include the media and electronic
text, in addition to alphabetic and number systems. These
abilities vary in different social and cultural contexts
according to need and demand. Within a highly idealist
modern context, individuals must be given lifelong
opportunities to move along a continuum that includes the
reading, and writing, critical understanding and decision-
making abilities they need in their community. In an
historical context, literacy has always been a difficult
problem for world's peoples, as measured through the
17. Literacy Rate In India
Literacy in India is key for socio-economic progress,
and the Indian literacy rate grew to
75.06% in 2011 from 12% at the end of British
rule in 1947. Although this was a greater
than six fold improvement, the level is well
below the world average literacy rate of
84%, and India currently has the
largest illiterate population of any nation on
earth. Despite government programs, India's
literacy rate increased only "sluggishly," and
a 1990 study estimated that it would take
until 2060 for India to achieve universal
literacy at then-current rate of progress. The
2011 census, however, indicated a 2001-2011
decadal literacy growth of 9.2%, which is the
slower than the growth seen during the
previous decade.
19. Adolescent Population
In India
•India has the largest population of adolescents
in the world being home to 243 million
individuals aged 10-19 years, Assam governor
J B Patnaik said on Saturday. Releasing the
UNICEF's flagship `The State of the World's
Children' report at the Raj Bhavan in
Guwahati, Patnaik said, the
•country's adolescents constituted 20 per cent
of the world's 1.2 billion adolescents.
•Stating nine out of ten among the 1.2 billion
adolescents live in the developing world, the
governor said, Assam was home to an
estimated 6.5 million adolescents, comprising
21.3 per cent of the state's population.
20. National Population
Policy
The National Population Policy (NPP) hopes to
address the unmet need for contraception, and
provide health infrastructure, personnel and
integrated service delivery for basic reproductive
and child health, bring the total fertility rate to
replacement level by 2010, and achieve a stable
population by 2045. Besides more general directives
such as making school education free and
compulsory and promoting delayed marriage for
girls, the policy advocates an “integrated package
of essential services”, which seems to consist of
providing contraceptives, treating some
reproductive infections and implementing some
communicable disease programmes. Shortfalls in
the government’s services are to be made up by
involving the voluntary and private sectors.
