India Population Dynamics & 2011 Census part 4

 Okay, here are the notes summarizing the key points from the Telugu video transcript about India's population and the 2011 Census:

Topic: India Population Dynamics & 2011 Census

I. Recap: Stages of India's Population Growth (Previous Video)

1891 - 1921: Stagnant Population

Period of very slow or negligible growth.

Characterized by high birth rates and high death rates.

Ends with the 1921 census (negative growth noted then).

1921 - 1951: Steady Growth

Population began to grow, but at a relatively slow, steady pace.

Death rates started declining gradually.

1951 - 1981: Rapid High Growth (Population Explosion)

Significant acceleration in population growth.

Marked decline in death rates while birth rates remained high.

This 30-year period saw the most substantial increase.

Post 1981: High Growth with Declining Trend

Population continues to grow significantly, but the rate of growth starts to decrease.

Birth rates begin to fall, but slower than the fall in death rates.

This trend is observed from 1981 onwards, including up to the 2011 census.

II. 2011 Census - Key Data & Features

Census Identification:

Overall: 15th Census of India.

Post-Independence: 7th Census.

Total Population (2011):

Provisional Figure: 121.02 Crore (Cr)

Final Official Figure: 121.05 Cr

Including disputed areas (3 subdivisions in Senapati Dist., Manipur): 121.089 Cr ≈ 121.09 Cr (This is the figure generally used).

Global Context (as of 2011):

India ranked 2nd most populous country (after China).

Note: Recent UNO reports (e.g., 2023/24) indicate India has surpassed China.

India's 2011 population was roughly equal to the combined population of USA + Indonesia + Brazil + Pakistan + Bangladesh + Japan.

Historical Growth (1901-2011):

Population grew from 23.8 Cr (1901) to 121.09 Cr (2011).

An increase of approximately 97 Cr over 110 years.

Male / Female Population (2011):

Males: 62.37 Cr (Approx. 51.47% or rounded to 51.5%)

Females: 58.64 Cr (Approx. 48.53% or rounded to 48.5%)

Male population is higher than the female population.

Difference: Male population is ~1.5% higher than female.

Rural / Urban Population (2011):

Rural: 83.4 Cr (Approx. 68.85% or rounded to 69%)

Urban: 37.71 Cr (Approx. 31.15% or rounded to 31%)

India remains predominantly rural, but urbanization is increasing.

Population Increase (2001-2011):

Absolute increase: 18.19 Cr.

Male increase: 9.15 Cr

Female increase: 8.99 Cr

Observation: Although the absolute increase in males was slightly higher, the percentage growth rate was higher for females (see Growth Rate section).

North vs South India Trend:

Southern states' share of India's total population decreased from 22.5% (1901) to 20.8% (2011).

Implication: Better population control in the South (development positive) but potential reduction in political representation (political negative).

III. Population Growth Rate (Janaba Vruddhi Rate) - 2011 Census Context

Definition: Change in population over a period (usually a decade for census), expressed as a percentage of the base population.

Calculation: Formula: [(Current Pop - Previous Pop) / Previous Pop] * 100

Decadal Growth Rate (2001-2011):

Overall: 17.7%

Compared to 1991-2001 (21.5%), the rate has declined.

Male Decadal Growth: 17.9%

Female Decadal Growth: 18.3% (Important: Female growth rate higher than male)

Rural Decadal Growth: 12.3%

Urban Decadal Growth: 31.8% (Significantly higher, primarily due to migration)

Historical Decadal Growth Rates:

Highest: 24.80% (Recorded in 1971 Census, for 1961-71 decade)

Lowest (Negative): -0.31% (Recorded in 1921 Census, for 1911-21 decade - "Year of Great Divide")

Average Annual Exponential Growth Rate (AAEGR) (Sagatu Varshika Janaba Vruddhi Rate):

2001-2011: 1.64% per year.

1991-2001: 1.97% per year. (Shows decline in annual rate too).

Overall Trend: Population growth rate has been consistently declining since the peak recorded in the 1971 census (specifically after 1981).

IV. Geographical Distribution - Highest & Lowest (2011 Census)

States (Population Size):

Highest: 1. Uttar Pradesh (UP), 2. Maharashtra, 3. Bihar.

Lowest: 1. Sikkim, 2. Mizoram, 3. Arunachal Pradesh.

Union Territories (UTs) (Population Size):

Highest: 1. Delhi, 2. Puducherry, 3. Chandigarh.

Lowest: 1. Lakshadweep, 2. Daman & Diu, 3. Dadra & Nagar Haveli (D&NH).

Note: UT data generally less important unless comparing a combined list or if a UT surpasses states.

Districts (Population Size):

Highest: Thane (Maharashtra).

Lowest: Dibang Valley (Arunachal Pradesh).

States (Decadal Growth Rate %):

Highest: 1. Meghalaya (27.9%), 2. Arunachal Pradesh (26.0%), 3. Bihar (25.4%).

Lowest: 1. Nagaland (-0.58% - Negative Growth), 2. Kerala (4.9%), 3. Goa (8.2%).

Union Territories (UTs) (Decadal Growth Rate %):

Highest: 1. Dadra & Nagar Haveli (D&NH) (55.9%), 2. Daman & Diu (53.8%), 3. Puducherry (28.1%).

Important: D&NH and Daman & Diu had growth rates far exceeding any state. If combined list (States+UTs) is asked, D&NH would be first.

Districts (Decadal Growth Rate %):

Highest: Kurung Kumey (Arunachal Pradesh) (111.01%).

Lowest: Longleng (Nagaland) (-58.48%).
