Growth of Population in Jammu and Kashmir!

The spatial distribution of population in Jammu and Kashmir is highly un­even. The distribution and density of population differ from district to district and from micro to meso-regions. The physical factors like terrain, to­pography, slope, climate (temperature and precipitation), drainage soil, natural vegetation, mineral resources and accessibility have largely control­led the distributional pattern and density of population in the state.

In general, about 85 per cent of the total population of the state is occupying the Jammu Plain and the Kashmir Valley (Jhelum floor), and 14 per cent is living in the Kandi (lower hilly slopes) areas and the side valleys within 2,000 m above the sea level, while the remaining one per cent is sprinkled in the high latitudinal zones of the Himalayas, Zanskar, Ladakh and Karakoram Ranges.

Hey buddy here is ur answer ......

The spatial distribution of population in Jammu and Kashmir is highly un­even. The distribution and density of population differ from district to district and from micro to meso-regions. The physical factors like terrain, to­pography, slope, climate (temperature and precipitation), drainage soil, natural vegetation, mineral resources and accessibility have largely control­led the distributional pattern and density of population in the state.

In general, about 85 per cent of the total population. In 1991, the total urban population was 18.40 lakhs, out of which 6.09 lakhs was the slum population. The sex ratio declined from 925 in 1981 to 923 in 1991. The literacy rate was about 27 per cent in 1981 which rose to 46 per cent in 1991.

The decadal growth rate of population between 1981-91 was about 29 per cent. The increase in population is a direct outcome of dif­ferential between the birth and the death rates as immigration of population in the state of Jammu and Kashmir is almost insignificant.

Growth of Population:

The size of population and its growth trend have a direct bearing on the eco­nomic development, social well-being, cultural values and political stability of a region. Population growth is, thus, pivotal to the regions demographic dynamism. It is this attribute with which all other characteristics of popula­tion are intimately related. The change in population can be measured both in terms of absolute numbers and in terms of percentage.

In India, enumeration of population is being carried on since 1871, but reliable data on the population of Jammu and Kashmir is far from satisfac­tory. The state has had a very checkered demographic history. In general, prior to 1921, the population of the state grew at a slow pace. It was because the state experienced a number of famines and epidemics. After 1921, how­ever, the population increased steadily. In 1951, just after independence, the population of the state was 32.5 million. In 1961, it grew to 35.6 million, which went up to 46.1 million in 1971.
