Factors of Population Distribution in India
Physical factors such as Climate, Terrain and Availability of water
• North Indian Plains, deltas and Coastal Plains have climate suitable for
agriculture and fertile plains hence have higher proportion of population
• Mountainous and forested regions of southern and central Indian States,
Himalayan states, and some of the north-eastern states are less populated
• Development of irrigation (Rajasthan), availability of mineral and energy
resources (Jharkhand) and development of transport network (Peninsular
States) have resulted in moderate to high proportion of population.
![Page 11: Population and Tribes of India](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042311/625ba8ce2ff9773a901fbf1d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Factors of Population Distribution in India
Socio-economic and historical factors
• Traditional settled agriculture and early human settlement has
resulted in large population in river plains and coastal areas of
India
• Development of transport and better agricultural development
has resulted in large population in North Plains
![Page 12: Population and Tribes of India](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042311/625ba8ce2ff9773a901fbf1d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Factors of Population Distribution in India
Industrialization and urbanization
• Metro cities of India have high concentration of population
due to industrial development and urbanization.
• A large numbers of rural-urban migrants come to these towns
![Page 13: Population and Tribes of India](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042311/625ba8ce2ff9773a901fbf1d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Phases of Growth of Indian Population
• 1911-1921 → Even recorded a negative growth rate
• Both the birth rate and death rate were high
• Major causes → Poor health and medical services, illiteracy of people at large, & inefficient distribution system of food
1901-1921 → Referred
as a period of stationary phase
of growth of India’s
population
![Page 14: Population and Tribes of India](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042311/625ba8ce2ff9773a901fbf1d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Phases of Growth of Indian Population
• An overall improvement in health and sanitation throughout the country
• Better transport and communication system improved distribution system
• The crude birth rate remained high in this period leading to higher growth rate than the previous phase
1921-1951 → Referred as the period of
steady population
growth
![Page 15: Population and Tribes of India](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042311/625ba8ce2ff9773a901fbf1d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Phases of Growth of Indian Population
• Caused by a rapid fall in the death rate but a high birth rate
• The average annual growth rate was as high as 2.2 %
• High birth rate was due to better living conditions & scientific developments
• Due to increased international immigration from Tibet, Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan; India’s growth rate exploded
1951-1981 → Referred as the period of
population explosion in
India
![Page 16: Population and Tribes of India](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042311/625ba8ce2ff9773a901fbf1d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Phases of Growth of Indian Population
• Due to decline in crude birth rate
• Due to an increase in the mean age at marriage
• Improvement in female literacy & empowerment
• Better scientific developments & access to common man
After 1981 till present, the growth rate has started
slowing down gradually

Problems due to Higher Population in India
Unemployment
Poverty
Uneven Migration
Urbanization problems
Regional disparities
Increase in crime rate
Environmental Degradation

Impact of population growth on the Indian Economy Adverse effects on savings
Unproductive investment
Slow growth of Per Capita Income
Underutilization of labor
Growing pressure on land
Adverse effect on quality of population
Adverse social impact

Population Density
• The density of population is expressed as the number of
persons per unit area.
• The density of population in India as per 2011 census is 382
persons per square km.
• Bihar with 1102 people per square km is the most densely
populated state of India followed by West Bengal (1029) and
Uttar Pradesh (828).
![Page 20: Population and Tribes of India](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042311/625ba8ce2ff9773a901fbf1d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Population Density
• Definitions :
• Physiological density refers to the total population divided by
the net cultivated area.
• Agricultural density refers to the total agricultural population
divided by the net cultivable area.
• Agricultural population includes cultivators and agricultural
laborers and their family members.

Modern Indian Cities
Based on the population size, the census of India classifies urban centers into six classes • CLASSES POPULATION
• Class I 100,000 and above
• Class II 50,000 to 99,999
• Class III 20,000 to 49,999
• Class IV 10,000 to 19,999
• Class V 5,000 to 9,999
• Class VI less than 5000
![Page 22: Population and Tribes of India](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042311/625ba8ce2ff9773a901fbf1d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Modern Indian Cities • The cities with population beyond five million are known as mega
cities.
• Urban agglomeration forms in a situation when a town and its adjoining urban areas outgrowth, or two or more contiguous towns with or without their outgrowth, or a city and one or more adjoining towns with their outgrowth together forming a contiguous spread.
• More than 60 per cent of urban population in India lives in Class I towns.

India: Migration
• Causes of migration are categorized as
• ‘Push factors’ and
• ‘Pull factors’
![Page 24: Population and Tribes of India](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042311/625ba8ce2ff9773a901fbf1d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
India: Migration
• Causes of Migration
Push factors force people to migrate; for example,
unemployment, lack of infrastructure (such as hospital,
education institutions, etc.), natural disasters (such as flood,
drought, earthquake, cyclone, etc.), local conflicts, war, etc.
Pull factors attract people from different places; for example,
better opportunities for education and employment; better
health facilities; and various sources of entertainment, etc.
![Page 25: Population and Tribes of India](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042311/625ba8ce2ff9773a901fbf1d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
India: Migration
• Causes of Migration
Normally, the reason behind female migration throughout India is largely marriage related; however, Meghalaya has a reverse scenario.
Remittances from the international migrants are one of the major sources of foreign exchange.
For thousands of the poor villages of states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, etc. remittance acts as life blood for their subsistence.

Present Case
Nowadays, Large development projects undertaken by the government also encroaches upon their land.
Large scale displacements and unsatisfactory compensation and rehabilitation are common place, leading to further backwardness and seclusion.
Because of their diversity they lack a common voice to bargain collectively
