.~. PREFACE

The secona phase of Census of India, 2001 viz., the population enumeration work was th th undertaken between 9 and 28 February, 2001 (both days inclusive) with a revisional round th from 1st to 5 March, 200 I. The reference date at which the snapshot of the population is taken, was 00.00 hours of 1st March, 2001. Maintaining the past tradition of releasing the population data on a provisional basis within a short time after the completion of population enumerati(;m, the provisional population figures were compiled at the Census Directorate based on various abstracts built up at different administrative levels such as the Enumeration block, RurallUrban Charge (Community Development Block/Town) and the District. The entire exercise of aggregation of provisional data up to the state level was completed within a very short span of time. On the basis of these abstracts, the provisional population figures of this state were released on 27th March, 2001 in the form of paper-I containing provisional figures with regard to Total 'population, Population in the age-group 0-6 and Literate population. The provisional population figures presented in paper-l were for State and District levels onl}'.

The present paper-2 of 2001, which is second in the series of publications on provisional population tota)s, mainly includes provisional data on rural-urban distribution of popUlation and its characteristics, population totals for urban agglomerations and their constituents and totals for individual cities and towns. The provisional population of outgrowths have also been shown separately as constituents of urban agglomerations.

Since the 'release of final population figures may hiKe sbme more time, it is hoped that the provisional data being presented in this paper would be usefui for the planners, g~vemment and non-government organisations and researchers etc.

I would like to express my deep sense of gratitude to the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India and his team of dedicated officers for the able guidance and encouragement provided by them in giving final shape to this paper.

I am personally grateful 'to ,officers and staff of my own directorate for all the strain they took in preparing this paper in the shortest possible time. It is only because of their untiring effort and dedication,that it has been possible to. bring out this paper within such a short span of time.

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

The first publication related with Census ofIndia 2001, based on provisional population totals, was brought out in the shape of Paper 1 of 200 1 immediately after the population enumeration work was over. The following tables, showing figures reiating to the size of population, population in the age group (0-6), growth rate, sex ratio, literacy and density of population for the state and its districts have been presented in this paper I.

(i) Table-l Population distribution, Percentage dccadal growth rate, Sex ratio and Density of population. (ii) Table-2 Percentage Decadal Variation in Population since 1901 for State and Districts. (iii) Table-3 Sex-ratio since 1901 for State and Districts. (iv) Table-4 Population in the age-group 0-6, Number ofliterates and Literacy rate for State and Districts.

Apart from the above main tables, five statements, based on the above tables, maps, charts and diagrams were also prepared, presented and dealt with in the portion pertaining to analysis of results in Paper 1 of 2001 .

The state of was bifurcated and the new state of lharkhand came into existence with effect th from 15 November, 2000. Hence Paper I of 2001 has been compiled and published separately for the states of Bihar (the left over portion) and lharkhand.

Since the release of final population figures may take some more time, a further attempt has been made to present some more information on rural-urban distribution of population, based on provisional population data, through the present Paper-2 of 2001. The detailed analysis in any of the fields must await the generation of final population figures and preparation of tables based thereon. The present paper mainly deals with rural and urban distribution of population for the state, its districts, urban agglomerations (UAs), cities, towns and community development blocks. The trends in urbanization in the state and districts have also been dealt with through these tables.

The following tables are presented in this paper:

(1) Table-l Population, Child population in the age-group 0-6, Literates by residence and sex - State, District, UA/City/Town, 2001 (ii) Table-2 Population, Child population in the age-group 0-6 and Literates by residence and sex - State, Districts, Community Development Blocks, 2001. (iii) Table-3 Percentage decadal growth, Percentage of child population in the age-group 0-6 by residence and Percentage of urban population to total population - State and Districts, 2001

3 (iv) Table-4 Sex ratio of population and Sex ratio of child population in the age-group 0-6 -- State, Districts, Community Development Blocks, 2001. (v) Table-5 Literacy rates by residence and Sex - State, Districts, Community Development Blocks, 2001. (vi) Table-6 Population, Percentage decadal growth rate 1991-2001, Sex-ratio, Literacy by sex - VAs, Cities and Towns by size class in the state, 2001. (vii) Appendix-l Population, Child Population in the age-group 0-6 and Literates by Sex - to Table-6 Independent cities and towns arranged in alphabetical order, 2001. ( viii) Appendix-2 List of Towns of 1991 declassified in 2001 and Towns of 1991 merged with to Table-6 other Towns in 2001. (ix) Table-7 Growth of urban population, 1981-2001.

A few statements, based on the above tables, have also been prepared and presented in this paper in the portion pertaining to analysis of results.

4 ANALYSIS OF RESULT,

URBANISATION - RURAL AND URBAN COMPOSITION

It is cllstomary to c!assi fy the population of the State and Country as rural and urban at every census. This becomes necessary in order to assess the differences in the social, economic, cultural and demographic characteristics of the population. At every census, it is usual for the Census Directorate to prepare a list of towns for the forthcoming census. For determining a place as 'urban' the criteria adopted in the 2001 Census was more or lc:>s the same as that used in the 1991 and 1981 Censuses. While all Municipal corporations, Municipalities, Notified Areas, Cantonment Boards, etc. are automatically considered as 'urban' irrespective of any other consideration, some non-municipal areas (or say villages) have been recognised as 'urban' provided such places satisfy the following criteria:

(i) A minimum population of 5,000

(ii) At least 75 percent of the male working population being engaged in non-agricultural pursuits, and

(iii) A density of population of at least 400 persons per sq. km.

Places satisfying the above three criteria are identified as Census Towns or non-statutory towns by the Director of Census Operations in each StatelUnion Territory after approval of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India. The places which were treated as census towns for the first time in 1991 Census and did not satisfy the above demographic criteria this time, were declassified in 2001 Census. All such areas which have neither been notified as urban by the State Government nor identified as urban by the Director of Census Operations, are rural. During the Census ofIndia 2001, the total number of towns in the state (after separation of lharkhand from Bihar state) stood at 152. There were 271 towns in the composite Bihar (or pre-division Bihar including Jharkhand) during 1991 Census.

Urban Agglomeration

An Urban Agglomeration (UA) has been defi:1ed as a continuous urban spread comprising a town and its adjoining urban outgrowths or two or more physically contiguous towns together with continuous, well organized urban outgrowths, if any, of such town/towns. There is considerable socio-economic inter-relationship between such physically contiguous urban units and it has been considered purposeful to group them under an urban agglomeration. During 2001 Census two more conditions have been added for the classification of an urban area as an Urban Agglomeration:

(a) The core town or at least one of the constituent towns should necessarily be a statutory town; and

(b) The total population of all the constituents (i.e. towns and outgrowths) of an Urban Agglomeration should not be less than 20,000 (as per the 1991 Census data)

In Iharkhand there are 1 I urban agglomerations and 84 independent towns (25 statutory towns and 59 census towns) which means that out of the total of 152 towns, as stated above, 68 towns (I8 statutory .., I and 50 census towns) have been grouped under 11 Urban Agglomerations. The list of Urban Agglomerations with their constituents is given below :

Name of district Name ofU.A. Constituents 2 3

The number of Community Development Blocks in the state is 210, contained in 33 Sub-divisions of 18 Districts. During the just concluded census operations, each of these C.D. Blocks was treated as an independent rural charge. Similarly, each Statutory Town/Census Town was treated as an independent urban charge.

Degree of urbanization among States and Union Territories The urban population ofIndia as per the 2001 provisional population totals is 285,354,954 out of which 150,135,894 are males and 135,219,060 are females. The urban population of the country as per 1991 Census was 217,611,012 of which 114,908,844 were males and 102,702,168 females. According to recast figures, the state of Iharkhand (had it been a separate state in 1991), had an urban population of 4,641,227 out of which 2,542,021 were males and 2,099,206 were females. 2001 Census figures reveal that the new state of Jharkhand, (after its separation from Bihar) has an urban population of 5,986,697 comprising 3,200,847 males and 2,785,850 females.

Iharkhand, which has a rural population of 20,922,731 and an urban population of 5,986,697 continues to be predominantly rural even now. The level of urbanization as measured by percentage of population living in urban areas, is of the order of22.25 percent as against 13.14 percent for the erstwhile composite Bihar (before creation of Iharkhand state). As per the recast figures of urban population of Jharkhalld for 1991 Census on the present jurisdiction of the state, the percentage of urban population works out to 21.25% which is slightly less than the percentage of urban population returned during 2001 Census (22.25%).

9 Among all the States and Union Territories of India the states having lower degree of urbanization than that of Jharkhand (22.25) are (20.78%), (20.41 %), Chhatisgarh (20.08%), (19.63%), Nagaland (17.74%), Tripura (17.02%), Orissa (14.97%), (12.72%), (11.10%), Bihar ((10.47%) and Himachal Pradesh (9.79). All other states and union territories of the country have shown higher degree of urbanization as compared to Jharkhand during Census of India 2001. The degree of urbanization in Jharkhand in 2001 Census is also lower compared to the all India average of 27.78%. All these will be evident from the Statement-I, placed at Annexure-X, showing Rural-Urban distribution of population - India and StateslUnion Territories, 2001. The degree of urbanization among various States/UTs in the country is arranged below in descending order of their percentage urban population :

th lharkhand, which is a medium sized state in terms of total population size, occupies 15 position, its share in national urban population being only 2.10 percent. The states having larger share than that of lharkhand in urban populaion of the country are Maharashtra (14.37%), Uttar Pradesh (12.10%), Tamil Nadu (9.55%), West Bengal (7.88%), Andhra Pradesh (7.19%), Gujarat (6.62%), Kamataka (6.28%), Madhya Pradesh (5.64%), Rajasthan (4.63%), Delhi (4.49%), Bihar (3.04%), Kerala (2.90%), Punjab (2.89%) and Haryana (2.14%).

11 th During 1991 Census, undivided Bihar (which included Iharkhand state) had occupied 9 position as far as percentage urban population content was concerned, having a share of 5.22 percent of the nation's urban population at that time. As far as the country is concerned, the percentage of urban population in India, as per 1991 Census, was 25.71 percent. In other words, almost one fourth of the country's population used to reside in urban areas. This figures has gone up marginally to 27.78 percent during 2001 Census. Between 1991 and 2001 Censuses the urban population of India has grown from 217,611,012 (the urban population figures of India including the projected population of Jammu & Kashmir for 1991) to 285,354,954 which means that there has been a net addition of 67,743,942 persons in the urban population of the country during the last decade. During the same period (between 199 I Census and 2001 Census) the total number of people living in urban areas of Jharkhand has gone up from 4,641,227 to 5,9R6,697. If we recast the urban population of Iharkhand in 1991 on the basis of the present territorial jurisdiction of Iharkhand state, it would indicate that the geographical area comprising the state of Iharkhand in 2001 Census had an urban population of 4,64 1,227 in 1991. Based on this calculation, the net addition to the urban population of present day Iharkhand between 1991 and 200 I Censuses is of the order of 1,345,470.

Degree of urbanization among districts Table-l at Annexure-I and Table-3 at Annexure-III show the Rural-Urban composition, Percentage of urban population to total population and Decennial growth rate for the state. and its 18 districts. A map of Iharkhand depicting rural and urban share of population among the districts is also being presented in this paper. It will be seen from Table-3 and Statement-3, placed at Annexures-III and XII respectively, that in 2001 Census the district ofPurbi Singbhum with 54.97% urban population is the most urbanized district, followed by Dhanbad with 52.39%. The districts ofBokaro, with 45.31 %, and Ranchi, with 35.09%, occupy rd the 3 and the 4th places respectively. During 1991 Census Purbi with 52.69% urban population was the most urbanized district in the composite state of Bihar, followed by Dhanbad which had 51.26% of its population living in urban areas. These two districts now form part of Iharkhand state. There are a few districts such as , (iarhwa, Pakaur, Chatra and where the degree of urbanization is very low, the proportion of urban population being less than even 5 percent.

Statement-4, placed at Annexure-XIII, shows the trend of urbanization in the form of annual exponential growth rate at which the urban population is growing. While the annual exponential growth rate had declined from 4.51 percent to 2.61 percent during 1981-91, during the same period the level of urbanization in the state increased by 0.96 percentage point from 20.29 to 21.25. However, during 199 1- 2001 the annual exponential growth rate has come down from 2.61 to 2.55 and increase in urbanization has been of the order of 1.00 percentage point only. This indicates that the trend of urbanization in the state has shown upward swing during the decade 1991-2001 as compared to the previous decade 1981-1991.

Distribution of State's urban population in the districts As far as the distribution of urban population of the state among its districts is concerned, it can be seen that takes the largest share i.e. 20.95%, though in terms of degree of urbanization nd it occupies 2 position as discussed in the earlier paragraph. On the other hand, Purbi Singhbhum district. which is the most urbanized district in the state in terms of degree of urbanization has slipped to second position so far its share in state's urban population is concerned (18.17%). Ranchi and Bokaro 12 contain 16.32 and 13.44 percent of state's urban population respectively, occupying third and fourth positions. The districtwise share of the State's urban population among other districts varies from 0.60 percent in Pakaur to 8.84 percent in Hazaribag. There are a total of five districts which do not have even one percent share in the state's urban population. These are - , Garhwa,Chatra, Godda and Pakaur. On the basis of 1991 Census figures also, the present day districts of Chatra, Garhwa and Pakaur, along with the old districts of Lohardaga and Godda, would have had less than 1 percent share each in the state's total urban population.

Districtwise share in the state's total urban population,in terms of percentage, can be seen from the statement given below :

Urban decadal growth rate The growth rates for the total population of the state and districts have already been discussed at length in Paper-l of 2001. In the present paper, column 6 of Table-3, placed at Annexure-III, shows the decennial growth rates of the population (Total, Rural & Urban) during 1991-2001 in respect of the state and its 18 districts. A look at this column reveals that during the decade 1991-2001 the total, rural and urban population of the state have registered decadal growth rates of 23.19%, 21.62% and 28.99% respectively. The corresponding growth rates in total, rural and urban populations during the decade 1981-91 were 24.02%, 22.54% and 29.86% respectively. There has not been any significant difference

13 in decadal growth rate of urban population of the state during the last two decades, although it has shown a marginal declining trend. It further transpires from the table that some of the districts viz., Godda (56.56%), Garhwa (53.72%), Sahibganj (42.67%) and Gumla (41.05%), have recorded decadal growth rates of urban population of more than 40% during the decade 1991-2001. None of the districts of lharkhand has registered an urban decadal growth rate of less than 20% during the decade 1991-2001 except the district of Giridih where the growth rate of urban population during the decade has been 13.31 % only.

Urban growth rate in District percent (1991-2001) 2 Godda 56.56 Garhwa 53.72 Lohardaga 45.47 Sahibganj 42.67 Gumla 41.05 Pakaur 37.24 Chatra 34.81 Ranchi 33.70 Dhanbad 30.89 Kodarma 30.74 Purbi Singhbhum 27.97 Deoghar 27.72 Hazaribag 27.15 Dumka 25.76 Pashchimi Singhbhum 24.17 Bokaro 24.00 Palamu 20.81 Giridih 13.31

The probable reasons for higher growth rates in the above districts may be influx of population from rural to urban areas and expansion in territorial jurisdiction of a few old towns. In certain cases like Garhwa, Pakaur, Chatra & Kodarma, the creation of new districts may also have added to the urban component of the popUlation. It is well known that immediately after creation of a new district or division a number of offices are established and other related activities such as transport, communication and general trade and commerce get a boost. These may be the probable reasons for higher urban growth rates in the districts which have been created between 1991 and 2001 Censuses.

Distribution of urban population by size class In keeping with the age old tradition of the Indian Census, during Census of India 2001 also the urban units have been categorized into the following six different size - classes on the basis of their population in the manner indicated below :

Class Population 100,000 and above II 50,000 - 99,999 III 20,000 - 49,999 IV 10,000 - 19,999 V 5,000 - 9,999 VI Less than 5,000 14 The same categories were used during 1991 Census also.

The Class I urban units are generally referred to as cities. In other words, all urban agglomerations/ towns with a population of 1 lakh and above are called city urban agglomerations/cities. According to provisional population figures of 2001 Census, there are 5 independent towns in Tharkhand viz., Jamshedpur (NA), Mango (NA), Adityapur (NA), Dhanbad (M), Ranchi (M.Corp.) Bpkaro (CT) and Hazaribag (M) with population of 1 lakh and above and these are being treated as cities. Further, as already stated earlier, there are 11 Urban Agglomerations in the state out of which 10 UAs qualify to be treated as City Urban Agglomerations since their provisional population is 1 lakh or more. These UAs are - lamshedpur UA, Dhanbad UA, Ranchi UA, Bokaro Steel City UA, Phusro UA,. Hazaribag UA, Deoghar UA, Ramgarh UA, Chirkunda UA and Giridih UA. Their constituent units have been indicated in Table-6, placed at Annexure-VI.

The UAs/Cities with population of 1 lakh and above have further been sub-classified into seven sub-classes - MI to M7 - depending on the population size of the UA/City/Town concerned. These are as follows:

Ml 100,000 - 199,999 M2 200,000 - 299,999 M3 300,000 - 499,999 M4 500,000 - 999,999 M5 1,000,000 - 1,999,999 M6 2,000,000 - 4,999,999 M7 5,000,000 and above

From Table-6 it transpires that in Iharkhand the UAs/Cities/Towns fall in the following sub­ classes only :

M5 (1,000,000 - 999,999) 1. lamshedpur UA 2. Dhanbad UA M4 (500,000 - 999,999) Ranchi M3 (300,000 - 499,999) Bokaro Steel City VA MI (100,000 - 199,999) 1. Phusro VA 2. Hazaribag UA 3. Deoghar U A 4. Ramgarh VA 5. Chirkunda (M) 6. Giridih (M)

None of the UAs/Cities in Iharkhand belongs to M7, M6 or M2 category.

In Table-6, the UAs and independent cities and towns are arranged by descending order of their popUlation in each size-class. Within UAs, however, the constituent units (including outgrowths) have been arranged in their regular order and not in descending order of population of these constituent units. Figures in respect of constituent units have also been presented along with the respective Urban Agglomerations. The constituent units of such UAs have not been repeated in other size-class in which they may independently fall according to their population. In case the constituent unite s) of an UA fall ( s) in different districts, the name of the district has been indicated in column 3 against the constituent unites).

15 In the state of lharkhand, Adityapur (NA) is a solitary case as it is the only constituent of Jamshedpur UA which falls in Pashchimi Singhbhum district, while all other constituents of Jamshedpur UA fall in Purbi Singhbhum district.

The items on which data has been presented in this Table-6 are Population by sex, Percentage decadal growth rate for 1991-2001, Sex-ratio and Literacy rate by sex. The growth rate of a size class of towns refers to the growth of population according to the size-class of the towns in the 1991 Census in respect of the decade 1991-2001.

It will also be seen from the Table-6 that the size class VI towns registered higher decadal growth rate in population (117.26%) as compared to other size class towns. Among class I towns, the sub-class M I (population between 1,000,000-1,999,999) has registered a growth rate of 194.85 percent. This sub­ class consists of six Vrban Agglomerations viz., Phusro VA, Hazaribag VA, Deoghar VA, Ramgarh VA, Chirkunda VA and Giridih UA. Further, due to upgradation of some class II towns of 1991 Census to class I towns (as a result of increase in their popUlation) during 2001 Census, the decadal growth rate of M 1 sub class towns (population between 100,000-199,999) has risen substantially. Negative growth rate in sub class M4 (population between 500,000 - 999,999) may be attributed to the fact that Jamshedpur UA and Dhanbad UA, which consist of 11 and 32 urban units respectively as their constituents, have subsequently been upgraded in higher sub class (M5) during 2001 Census. An::tong various size class of towns only size class II towns have shown a negative decadal growth rate (-25.42%). The possible reasons for negative growth rates. have already been discussed above. The lowest decadal growth rate has been registered in class III towns (3.75%). Out of 11 UAs in the state, 10 UAs fall in size class I category and, in fact, are considered as City Urban Agglomerations. The remaining one UA falls in size class II (population between 50,000-99,999). No other size class of towns contains any Urban Agglomeration to its share.

Sex ratio and literacy in different size class of towns Sex ratio (number of females per 1000 males), as returned in the present census, is the lowest in size class V and size class I towns, having 862 and 867 females per 1000 males respectively, while it is highest (885 females per thousand males) in size class III towns. The sex ratio is, however, adverse for females in all size class of towns.

So far literacy rate in various size class of towns is concerned, it is evident from Table-6 that the literacy rate is highest (80.83%) in towns belonging to size class I while it is lowest (70.10%) in towns belonging t<1 size class VI. The same trend is observed in case of male and female literacy rates separately also. The male literacy rates are comparatively much higher than female literacy rates in all size class of towns, the difference varying between 15 percentage points (size class II) and 24 percentage points (size class VI).

Table-7, placed at Annexure-IX, shows the growth of urban population during the decades 1981-91 and 1991-01. After bifurcation of erstwhile Bihar state and creation of the new state of Jharkhand, the number of urban agglomerations, statutory towns and census towns, according to the Census of India 2001, is shown below:

Jharkhand Bihar Urban Agglomerations 11 9 Statutory Towns 44 125 Census Towns 108 5 From the above, it can be seen that in the newly created state of Iharkhand the number of statutory towns is comparatively much low as compared to post division Bihar. On the other hand, number of census towns (non-statutory towns) is much higher in Iharkhand as compared to Bihar. The number of urban agglomerations is slightly more in Iharkhand (11) as compared to the state of Bihar (9).

From Table-7, it can be seen that the number of UAs has gone down from 14 in 1991 (recast figures for Iharkhand according to present territorial jurisdiction) to 11 in 2001 Census. The number of independent towns, on the other hand, has registered an increase. In 2001 Census, there are 68 such towns in Iharkhand which are constituent units of Urban Agglomerations. While Class I Urban Agglomerations have gone up in number, the number of class II Urban Agglomerations has gone down from three to one between 1991 and 2001.

It will further be seen from Table-7 that class I Towns/UAs account for 71.34 percent of the total urban popUlation of the state as against their share of 62.70 percent in the state's urban population during 1991 Census. The percentage share of Class II UAs/Towns and Class III, IV and V towns in the state's urban population has registered a decrease during the decade. Size class VI has shown slight increase in its share in the state's urban population. The population in class I Urban Agglomerations/Cities has shown increase at a faster rate (28.09%) than the towns in other size classes. The comparatively low growth rates in some size class of towns may be partly due to movement of towns from lower size classes to higher size classes.

For the convenience of data users the Total population, Child population in the age-group 0-6 and Literate popUlation by sex for all independent cities and towns, arranged in alphabetical order, have been presented in Appendix-l to Table-6, placed at Annexure-VII.

It would be evident from Appendix-2 to Table-6, placed at Annexure-VIII, that 14 towns (1 statutory and 13 census towns) of 1991 Census no longer continue as towns during 200 1 Census. One statutory town has been denotified by the state Govt. authorities. Thirteen census towns have been declassified by the Census organization since they did not fulfill the three laid down criteria for being continued as census towns during 200 1 Census. None of the towns of 1991 Census has been merged with any other town during the present Census.

Further, statement-2 placed at Annexure-XI reveals that there are 152 towns (44 statutory towns and 108 census towns) in Iharkhand during 200 1 Census as against 133 (45 statutory towns and 88 census towns) at the time of 1991 Census (on the basis of recast figures for Iharkhand according to the present territorial jurisdiction).

SEX RATIO IN DISTRICTS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCKS

Table-1, placed at Annexure-I, presents data for population, child population in the age group 0-6 and literate population by sex for state, district, UA/city/town for 2001 Census.

Table-2, at Annexure-II, also presents the same data items as in Table-l mentioned above but for the total, rural and urban areas at the district and community development block leveL The community development block is a very important administrative unit in the state and, as practiced during the earlier Censuses, the community development blocks have been treated as rural charges at the time of Census of India 2001 also. There are two types of community development blocks in the state - one, which contain some urban area also within their territory, and second, which contain only rural areas within their jurisdiction. For those community development blocks which contain urban components also, the data for total, rural and urban areas at the C.D. Block level have been furnished in Table-2, along with similar data for the district. For those C.D. Blocks which do not have any urban component, the relevant data have been presented only for rural areas and no mention has been made of either urban area or total area against their names.

Sex ratio, which is defined as number of females per thousand males, is one of the important social parameters of the society and it indicates balance between males and females in the society.

If we recast the sex ratio figures on the basis of the present day territorial jurisdiction of the state of Jharkhand, it will be found that sex ratio has generally been adverse to females since 1961. The pattern of sex ratio among the total population and in the population of 0-6 age-group in various districts, and C.D. Blocks within the districts, can be seen from Table -4, placed at Annexure-IV. Generally, the sex ratio of child population in the age-group 0-6 is found to be comparatively higher than the sex ratio of total population. However, in 5 out of 18 districts viz., Kodarma, Giridih, Lohardaga, Gumla and Purbi Singhbhum, the sex ratio of population in the age-group 0-6 is observed to be less than the sex ratio of the total population. In 128 out of 210 C.D. Blocks (roughly 61 % of the total no. of C.D Blocks in the State) the sex ratio of child population in the age-group 0-6 is observed to be higher than the sex ratio of general population. Out of the remaining 82 C.D. Blocks in as much as 80 C.D. Blocks, the situation is otherwise i.e. sex ratio is higher in the general population vis-a-vis sex ratio of child population in the age group 0-6 while in 2 C.D. Blocks the sex ratio of general population and sex ratio of child population in the age-group 0-6 are the same. Most of these C.D. Blocks are situated in the aforesaid 9 districts where sex-ratio for the district as a whole has been found to be higher in the general population vis-a-vis the sex-ratio for child population in the age-group 0-6.

The sex ratio of community development blocks has been presented in Table-4, placed at Annexure­ IV. Among all the community development blocks in the state, the twenty five C.D. Blocks having highest sex-ratio in relation to total popUlation are listed below :

22 LITERACY RATES BY SEX AND RURAL-URBAN BREAK UP IN DISTRICTS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCKS

The literacy rates of the state and its districts, according to provisional population figures of 2001 Census, have been presented and discussed in detail in paper-l of 2001.

In this paper-2, the literacy rates by sex and residential status at the district and community development block level have been presented in Table-5, placed at Annexure-V.

The overall literacy rate for the state of Iharkhand is 54.13 percent, while the literacy for the country as a whole in 2001 Census is 65.38 percent. Out of 18 districts in the state, there are as many as 5 districts where literacy rates have been found to be higher than the state average of 54.13. The district of Purbi Singhbhum has a literacy rate as high as 69.42 percent, closely followed by Dhanbad (67.49%), Ranchi (65.69%) and Bokaro (62.98%) districts. The lowest literacy rate of30.54 percent has been registered in Pakaur district during 2001 Census. If the rural-urban composition of the popUlation with reference to literacy is considered, it can be seen from Table-5, placed at Annexure-V, that 79.86 percent population has been returned as literate in urban areas of Iharkhand while only 46.26 percent has been found to be literate in the rural areas.

The twenty five best performing C.D. Blocks (including those C.D. Blocks which have some urban area within their jurisdiction also) of the state in terms of literacy rates are listed below :

24 As has been mentioned earlier also, if the rural-urban composition of the population in relation to literacy is considered, it can be seen from Table-5 that, in the state of Iharkhand, 79.86 percent of the population has been returned as literate in urban areas, while only 46.26 percent of the population has been found to be literate in rural areas.

32 CITIES HAVING ONE MILLION PLUS POPULATION

If we consider the population of independent towns/cities in the state, it would transpire that there is, in fact, no independent town in the newly created state of Iharkhand which would be a million plus town (having population of 10 lakh or more). Even Ranchi town, the capital city of Iharkhand state, is not a million plus population town. Its provisional population, according to Census of India, 2001, is only 846,454. There are two Urban Agglomerations, viz., Iamshedpur UA with a population of 1,10 1,804 and Dhanbad VA with a population of 1,064,357 which come under the category of million plus Urban Agglomerations. Ranchi, which also happens to be an Urban Agglomeration, has a population of 862,850 only and thus it does not qualify to be a million plus Urban Agglomeration. However, as an independent town, it is the most populous (with a population of 846,454) in the state of Iharkhand, as per 2001 Census. Since it happens to be the capital city of the newly created state of Iharkhand, some historical! demographic features of this town are being discussed along with the salient features of Iamshedpur and Dhanbad Urban Agglomerations.

At the 1961 Census, the concept of Town Group was adopted to obtain a broad picture relating to urban spread. This was refined in 1971 with the concept of 'Urban Agglomeration' to obtain better feedback in regard to urban contiguity, processes and trends of urbanization and other related matters. This concept, without any modification or change, has remained operative in all successive Censuses, as already explained in beginning paragraphs of this paper.

In several areas around a core city or statutory town, fairly large and well recognized railway colony, university campus, military camp etc, would have come up. Even ifsuch places are lying outside the statutory limits of the Corporation, Municipality or Cantonment Board etc., in most of the cases they fall within the limits of the revenue viUage(s) which is (are) contiguous to the town. Each such individual area by itself may not satisfy the minimum population limit to qualify it to be treated as an independent urban unit but may deserve to be clubbed with the town as a continuous urban spread. Such areas have been termed as 'Outgrowths' (OGs) and reckoned alongwith the town. As already defined earlier, such town, together with its outgrowth(s), is treated as integrated urban area and is designated as an 'Urban Agglomeration' .

Ranchi UA

Ranchi is one of the oldest towns falling in the jurisdiction of the present day Iharkhand state. Ranchi town had a population of 25,970 in 1901. It increased by 20-30 percent in each of the following decades upto 1941. In 1941-51 its population showed a phenomenal increase of over 70 percent which resulted in its elevation to the status of a city. The growth of Ranchi (including Doranda) during the decade 1951-61 had, however, slowed down and was of the order of 31 percent. Ranchi was temporarily made the provincial headquarters when a separate administration was first formed for Bihar and Orissa. It continued to be the summer-seat of the State Government even after independence for sometime. It owes its steady expansion to the strategic location in the hean of the Chotanagpur mining belt. Its good

33 and temperate climate has also attracted immigrants from outside. The sudden spurt of population in 1951 was, however, due to the location of the Eastern Command Headquarters at Ranchi. In the following decade it was shifted to Lucknow. That the population continued to increase by as much as 31 percent in the following decade, notwithstanding the shifting of the Eastern Command, bears testimony to the development of trade and industry in the town, no less than the expansion of facilities for higher education during the decade. In the years following 1961 this town had been growing much more rapidly because of the location of the Hindustan Steel, the National Coal Development Corporation, the Heavy Engineering Corporation, the High Tension Insulator Factory and various other industrial and administrative units (Source: General Report, 1961 Census, Bihar). The rate of increase of population of Ranchi UA during the decade 1961-71 was of the order of over 90 percent while during the decade 1971-81, the decadal increase was to the extent of approximately 88 percent. Ranchi town was upgraded as Municipal Corporation during the decade 1971-81. The decade 1981-91 showed a low increase of 22.28 percent in comparison to previous two decades while during the present decade i.e. 1991-2001 it has registered comparatively higher growth rate of 41.24%. The population of Ranchi town, as stated above, is 846,454 according to 2001 Census.

Ranchi urban Agglomeration was formed in 1971 Census with Ranchi (M) (subsequently upgraded as M. Corp.) and Kanke (CT) as its constituent units and it is still continuing as an urban Agglomeration with the same constituent units.

Jamshcdpur VA

Jamshedpur town, formerly known as , appeared on the urban map for the first time in 1911 with a small population of5,672. In the Census report of 1911, L.S.S. O'Malley made a brief and unimpressive mention of the fact in these words "the opening of the Tata Iron and Steel works at Sakchi has led to the creation of another town in the district", The rapid growth (over 900%) of the city in 1911-21 was, however, described subsequently by PC. Tallents as "a romance of the twentieth century", and, "the story of its birth in the wilderness in 1907 and its amazing development during the next fourteen years reads like fairy tale". The progress made in 1921-31 was hardly less remarkable, there being an increase of 46 per cent in its population. A large increase of over 77% took place during the decade 1931-41. During the decade 1971-81, the absolute growth has been recorded as 100,278 but in the decade 1981-91 there had been a meagre absolute growth of21,889 - the lowest in comparison to the previous decades. During the present decade (1991-2001) it has registered an absolute growth of 109,772 i.e. 23.83%.

Among the notable developments contributing towards the eminence of Jamshedpur, mention may be made of the opening of TELCO, a factory for manufacture of Mercedes-Benz trucks and Railway locomotives, expansion of the TISCO and several other industrial concerns in and around J amshedpur. The city's favourable geographical location and the foresight of Jamshedji Tata have produced one of the best planned and most advanced industrial complexes in the country.

The popUlation of Jamshedpur Urban Agglomeration and its decadal growth rate during various decades (on the jurisdiction of the respective Census years) are being shown in the statement presented below:

As per 2001 Census Jamshedpur UA consists of 10 (ten) towns and one Outgrowth, viz. Tatanagar • I Railway Colony. Of these 9 towns and the outgrowth of Tatanagar Railway Colony belong to Purbi Singhbhum district while one town viz. Adityapur (NA) belongs to Paschimi Singhbhum district. Only two constituent towns of Jamshedpur U.A. viz. Jamshedpur (NA) and Mango (NA) belong to size class I category and rest belong to other lower size class of towns.

The constituent units of Jamshedpur Urban Agglomerqtion (known as "Town Group" in 1961 Census only and thereafter refined as Urban Agglomeration) since 1971 Census are indicated below:

It is evident from the above statement that the population of Jamshedpur UA, according to 2001 Census, is much less than the seven other UAs/Cities shown in the above statement including Dhanbad UA of Bihar.

Dhanbad VA

No constituent town of Dhanbad UA independently deserves to be kept in the category of million plus city. Dhanbad Urban Agglomeration, with a popUlation of 1,064,357, however, qualifies to be placed in this category. Dhanbad VA was formed for the first time in 1961 census, comprising 3 statutory towns and 7 census towns viz., Dhanbad (M), Jharia (NA), Sindri (NA), Jorapokhar (CT), Loyabad (CT), Bhowrah (CT), Sijua (CT), Tisra (CT), Jamadoba (CT) and Kerkend (CT). Thereafter, more and more towns were included in Dhanbad UA in successive Censuses. At the present Census Dhanbad UA comprises 32 towns of which 5 are statutory towns and 27 are census towns.
