Chapter 1 Introduction CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION PROVISIONAL POPULATION TOTALS - MIZORAM 1 2 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION BRIEF INTRODUCTION The Provisional Population Totals Paper 1 of 2011 was published during the 1st Week of April, 2011 where as on the 00:00 hours of 1st March 2011, the total population, number of males and females, children in the age group 0-6 years’ population, sex ratio, were declared upto district level. Now in this PPT Paper II, Volume II, the population of the state, related data and analytical notes are presented for rural and urban areas of the state and for each District Rural Development Block. All the data given in this publication are provisional in nature as it was in Paper I. For the benefit of data users, some concepts and definitions adopted in the Census 2011 are as mentioned below. JURISDICTIONAL CHANGES IN THE STATE There have been Jurisdictional Changes after Census 2001; four new Rural Development Blocks have been created namely Bilkhawthlir, Champhai, Bungtlang ‘S’ and Saiha, and one new Notified Town has been created namely Lawngtlai. Sangau RD Block has been transfered to Lawngtlai district after Census 2001, earlier it was under Saiha district. Creation of new RD Blocks caused changes in the jurisdiction of the existing RD Blocks and the Districts. In the Census 2011, there are three RD Blocks namely Tlangnuam, Thingsulthliah and E. Lungdar which jurisdictions cover villages and towns of two different Districts each. Statement 1.1 Administrative units in Mizoram - 2001 & 2011 Administrative units 2001 Census 2011 Census 1 2 3 District 8 8 Rural Development Block 22 26 Village 817 830 Inhabited 707 704 Un-inhabited 110 126 Town (Notified) 22 23 Mizoram state is divided into 8 districts. Unlike other states, Mizoram does not follow the system of Tahluk/Tahsil, etc. so that Rural Development Block areas have been taken as units to demarcate lower formation of geographical and administrative areas in the state. Four new RD Blocks were created after Census 2001 while there was only 22 RD Blocks in 2001 Census. In Census 2011, there are as many as 830 villages and out of which, 704 villages are inhabited and 126 villages are uninhabited. There are 23 Notified Towns and it increased by one after 2001 Census. RURAL-URBAN FRAME The term “Rural” in respect of Census Operations indicates all the villages in the state and the term “Urban” stands for notified towns and cities. The enumeration has been PROVISIONAL POPULATION TOTALS - MIZORAM 3 conducted in these areas and the system of making a distinction between Rural and Urban resulted to getting and utilizing the precise statistics in respect of Rural and Urban areas. Rural Frame In the ‘Rural Areas’, villages are classified into the following categories: 1. Revenue Village 2. Forest Village 3. Un-inhabited Village 4. Other Village (formed as a consequence of new settlements under various projects, etc.) In the case of Mizoram, only two types of villages can be found such as Revenue (inhabited) and Un-inhabited villages. Statement 1.2 Urban Agglomerations - 2011 The concept of urban agglomeration(UA) as adopted for the 1981, 1991 and 2001 Censuses will continue for the 2011 Census also. According to this, an urban agglomeration is a continuous urban spread constitution a town and its adjoining outgrowths(OGs), or two or more physically contiguous towns together with or without ourgrowths of such towns. For the purpose of identification of urban agglomerations for 2011 Census, following criteria would be adopted. a) The core town or at least one of the constituent towns of an urban agglomeration should necessarily be a statutory town: and b) The total population of an urban agglomeration (i.e. all the constituents put together) should not be less than 20,000 as per the 2001 Census. In varying local conditions, there were similar other combinations which have been treated as urban agglomerations satisfying the basic condition of contiguity. In Mizoram there is no Urban Agglomeration and Out Growths. Urban Frame In the ‘Urban Areas’, towns and cities are categorized in the following ways: 1. Municipal Corporation 2. Municipality 3. Nagar Panchayat 4. Cantonment Board 5. Census Towns According to the criteria given by the Government, the first four are statutory towns; meanwhile Census Town is not a statutory town and is declared as ‘Census Town’ only for a census concept where there is no Notified Town. However, the Government proposed to retain in Census 2011, the definition of an urban unit adopted in Census 2001 as follows: 4 (a) All places with a municipality, corporation, cantonment board or notified town area committee, etc. (b) All other places which satisfied the following criteria: (i) A minimum population of 5,000; (ii) At least 75 per cent of the male working population engaged in non-agricultural pursuits; and (iii) A density of population of at least 400 per sq. km. As for Mizoram state, the capital city, Aizawl is the only town having municipality, however, it is also categorized as Notified Town. Altogether there are 23 Notified Towns in the state and there is no Census Town. The number of Notified Towns increased by one as Lawngtlai has been categorized as Notified Town after 2001 Census. Statement 1.3 District-wise number of towns with civic status in Mizoram - 2011 No. of Name of Civic Towns in the District Status 2011 1 2 3 Mamit 3 NT Kolasib 4 NT Aizawl 4 NT Champhai 4 NT Serchhip 3 NT Lunglei 3 NT Lawngtlai 1 NT Saiha 1 NT Mizoram has altogether 23 Notified Towns which are scattered into the 8 districts. Three Districts namely Aizawl, Champhai and Kolasib have 4 notified towns each. Mamit, Serchhip and Lunglei District have 3 towns each while Saiha and Lawngtlai District accommodate only one town each in their jurisdiction. Lawngtlai became a newly notified town during the decade 2001-2011. GENERAL INTERPRETATION OF URBANIZATION The term “Urbanization” became a popular one now a days, it signifies rapid growth of population in the urban areas due to economic factors, better facilities on education and health, and standard of living. In Mizoram, we can see that growth of population in urban areas is much higher than that of in the rural areas which is clearly depicted by the decadal growth rate, 27.43% in urban and 18.2% in rural. Urbanization also includes massive migration to urban areas from the rural areas due to the said factors. One example for urbanization in the state is that the capital city, Aizawl alone has a population of 291822 which is 26.75% of the total population of the state.

  • Post-Insurgency Rural Development Strategies in Mizoram: a Critical Analysis
    Post-insurgency Rural Development Strategies in Mizoram: A Critical Analysis –Harendra Sinha1 ABSTR A CT ­ Rural Development in Mizoram was severely slowed down and affected due to two decades of insurgency (1966-86) and grouping of villages as counter insurgency strategy. The grouping of villages has its permanent repercussions where post-grouping reconstruction measures were not initiated so as to suit the people and the area of the villages that grouped. Although various rural development initiatives were introduced and implemented during post-insurgency period, its impact on rural economy is minimal. The result is that approximately all villages and the State is not economically self-sufficient. The State still depends on almost all essential commodities from outside the state. The present paper focuses mainly on the impact of village grouping as counterinsurgency strategy and the post-independence rural development programmes initiated and its impact on rural Mizoram. Key Words: Insurgency, Village grouping, Rural Development, Economic self-sufficiency. I. INTRODUCTION Mizoram (earlier known as Lushai Hills/Mizo Hills District) is situated on the North East of India located between 22. 19`N and 24. 19` N Latitude 92. 16` and 93. 26` East Longitude covering a geographical area of 21,087 sq. km. It is covered by international borders from three sides, Myanmar in the East and South (404), and Bangladesh in the West (306). Mizoram is highly mountainous and has rugged topography with high ranges trending north south direction. Barring few patches of flat land along the valleys and the area bordering the plains of Cachar and Bangladesh, the topography of Mizoram is composed of steep hills and deep gorges (Singh, 1995).
