GROWTH OF POPULATION IN SINDUDURG DISTRICT

Introduction –

The growth of population in any area is an index of it’s Economic

development, social awakening and many other characters the growth of

population is one of the significant factors associated with man’s accupance. In

other words it flows in size from time to time and people migrate temporarily or

permanently both within the administrative boundaries and across them.

The growth of population in any area is determined by three basic factors

namely human fertility human mortality and human mobility. The difference

between human fertility and mortality is called natural increase of population.

There are many factors which are responsible for increasing the natural growth of

population. The demographic factors social factors influence the growth rate of

population. The present pattern of population growth is simply the latest phase of

census of growth trend in the past. The trends of population growth are basic to

the change in the overall geographic personality of any area.

The purpose of this topic is to examine the dynamic of population number

in the study region during 1991-2001 in the contest of past nine decades (1901-

1991) along with their broad implication. Such analysis will yield not only

understanding of the contemporary demographic situation in the study region but

will also provide clues about the likely trend in this regard in the years to come.

This in turn will give a measure of social problems which the district and its

region will be called upon to solve.

The growth of population means any change in population number if this

change is in negative direction then population decreases when it is in positive

direction than population increase. In the present chapter we are discussing

about the growth of population since 1901 in the whole distinct. Than we will

discuss the taluka wise population growth during 1991-2001 and aletermine the

sub-region of population growth rate viz high population growth rate region

medium population growth rate region and low population growth rate region

--56 --

medium population growth rate region and low population growth rate region

finally we are discussing the region of population growth rate and we are going to

prepare it’s summary.

POPULATION GROWTH IN SINDHUDURG DISTRICT 1991 – 2001

As we have already taken in to consideration the population growth since

1991 for the entire study region it is not sufficient to determine the sub-regions of

population growth rate within the study region for this purpose we taken in to

consideration the taluka wise growth to examine how geographical factors affect

the growth of population in the study region. To examine the population growth at

taluka level we take in to consideration the period 1991-2001 we have selected

this period to study the reasons.
