Imagine a world without people. Impossible to think isn’t it? Without people, there would be no society, economy or a culture. The current population of India is at 132.42 crores (as of 2016) and is the second highest in the world. Also, our population is what contributes to our socio-economic structure and the diverse cultural scenario
Population Size and Distribution
The current population of India contributes to 17% of the global population. Also, all these people are unevenly distributed across 3.28 million square kilometers of our geographical area.
According to the 2001 Census, Uttar Pradesh is the highest populated state in India with a total number of 166 million people. While on the other hand, states like Sikkim and Lakshadweep have the lowest population of 0.5 million in Sikkim and only 60000 people in the island state of Lakshadweep.
Furthermore, about half of the country’s population is concentrated around five major states- Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh. Though Rajasthan is the largest state in size, its population contributes to only 5.5% of the total population of India.
