The study of population growth and distribution is basic to an understanding of the spatial pattern of population. They furnish a base for analyzing other attributes of population of an area. Any change in the size of the population is termed as growth of population. A numerical increase or decrease in the population may bring about changes in the man land ratio, in the value of land and in the social order. Manipur is facing an enormously positive growth of population from 2,84,465 in 1901 to 18,37,149 persons in 1991. During the last nine decades the population of the state has increased more than five times. Out of the total increase of 15,52,684 persons, more than two third has been added during the last three decades, and at present the increase is taking place at a rate of 41,620 persons every year. If the present trend continues, the growth rate would become much higher than even the present rate. On the other hand, the distribution of population is very uneven. The hilly region, comprising about 90 percent of the total area of the State, contains only 35.45 percent of the State's total population, while the valley region with only 10 percent of the total area has to support 64.55 percent of the total population. Further, the density of population in the Manipur valley in the Imphal area is increasing at a faster rate during the last three decades (1961-71 had 401 persons/km square and increased to 490 in 1971-81 and to 530 in 1981-1991, respectively). Thus, the pressure of population on the limited areas of the valley region is becoming high year after year. The valley region with majority of the urban centers of the State is being the focal point of population concentration.
