1) What was the rate of population growth
in the year 1951 ?
Answers
- Answer: about 45 percent
The rate of population growth fluctuated between 1.0 and 1.35 per cent per annum in the time period 1921 - 1951.
The average population growth was 3.63 million per year from 1941 - 1951 in India.
The population increased 13.32 % from census of 1941 to 1951.
The population in 1951 was 361 million in India.
And in 1941, it was 319 million.
To find, Rate of population growth (1941-51)
(Population in 1951 - population in 1941) ÷ population in 1941
= (341 - 319)/319
= 42/319
= 0.13 per cent per annum
The year 1921 was the year of great divide in india.
From 1921, population rate goes on increasing and never decreased.
The rate of growth was moderate in the time frame 1921-51.
The population started to grow rapidly from 1951.
Before 1921, population gets decreased in one census and increased in another, this trend was followed. But it never declined from 1921 again and that's why it is known as year of great divide.
In census 1901 - decline of 0.04 crore in total population.
In census 1911 - increase of 1.38 crore in total population.
In census 1921 - decline of 0.07 crore in total population.
In census 1951 - rise of 4.24 crore
And population is still going up.
