Paper 1 0[2001 ofMizoram mainly contained the total provisional figures of population of the state of Mizoram, male and female break up, sex ratio, density of population and literacy as well as total provisional population of children in 0 to 6 years of age in Mizoram as on 00:00 Hrs of 0 1 March 2001 which was fixed as Census moment and reference date respectively. Certain figures on the aforementioned items at District level were also incorporated in Paper-I. In addition to brief analytical notes on salient points, maps and graphs etc. were also prepared in support of and to explain the subject matter more elaborately. The Paper-l was, therefore, the first publication of the Census of India 2001 pertaining to Mizoram. In the present publication, which is also called Paper 2 of200 1, details of certain additional information on Rural-Urban Distribution of population of Mizoram upto mral development block level based on provisional figures and supported by various tables, statements and maps has been incorporated. For this reason the present publication is entitled "Provisional Population Totals - Paper 2 of2001, Rural-Urban I Distribution of Population - Series 16 - Mizoram." As we do not have any slum areas and urban agglomerates in Mizoram no such data could be compiled and included in this Paper. It may be noted that details regarding all other information collected by the census enumerators during field operations would be compiled and released later on in a phased manner after the scanning is completed at the Scanning Centre in future. It may not be out of place to mention here that all 22 towns of Mizoram are Notified Towns, the number of which has increased from one in 1961 to 22 in 1991 which remained the same in 2001. However, the total percentage of urban population in the State has increased from 46.10 to 49.50 during 1991-2001. In addition to various tables and statements along with brief analysis, certain charts and maps have also been incorporated in this publication. v CENSUS OF INDIA 2001 MIZORAM PROVISIONAL FIGURES AT A GLANCE i) Number of Districts 8 ii) Area in Sq.

ANALYTICAL NOTES POPULATION, CHILD POPULATION IN THE AGE GROUP 0-6 YEARS AND LITERATES - BY RESIDENCE AND SEX - STATE, DISTRICT, CITYffOWN - 2001 The Paper 1 of200l earlier released in March 2001 by this Directorate contained the data regarding provisional totals of persons - male, female; children of age group 0-6 years, density of population, sex ratio and percentage of literates among the population 7 years and above.

A scrutiny of the data given in Table 1 will indicate that among the 22 Notified Towns of Mizoram, the capital town of Aizawl is not only th~ largest town with a population of 229714, as many as 52 % of the total urban population of the state reside in this town and that B iate with a population of 2227 is having only 0.50 % population of urban areas of Mizoram. Another interesting information is that while the population of the largest town is 229714, the second largest town of Lunglei in South Mizoram is having only 47,3.55 inhabitants followed by Champhai with population of26430. Thus out of the total urban population of 441 040 residing in 22 Notified Towns of the state, total population of these three towns comes to 303501 which is 68.81% of the t0lli:' urban population.
