what are the reasons for fast growth rate in jandk
Answers
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.
