Acknowledgement 127 Preface
After successful completion of the mammoth task of Census 2001, and declaring the Provisional Population Totals - Paper 1 of Jammu & Kashmir State in the month of March 2001, it gives me great pleasure to present Provisional Population Totals - Paper 2 containing rural-urban population, sex ratio, literacy rate, child population of the State, Districts and Tehsils.
Census operation in India is one of the largest administrative exercise of its kind. It has 130 years of glorious history and has the reputation of authenticity and coverage in its uninterrupted succession ever since the first synchronized census was held in 1872. It reflects the ground realities and whatever data collected is due to the immense hard work put in by thousands of Enumerators, Supervisors, Deputy Charge Officers, Charge Officers and Principal Census Officers at the village/tehsil/district level.
Census in India is conducted under Census Act, 1948. Therefore, census data cannot be expected to fulfil the aspirations of different sections of society and other interested parties having specific interests. It gives only the number of people with their living conditions and individual characteristics 'wherever and in whatever condition they were during the census period' as per actual ground position and it leaves no scope for anyone to expect that it should be favourable to some particular interest.

It is bounded by China in the north and east, by Afghanistan in the north-west and by Pakistan in the west. Punjab and Himachal Pradesh States border it in the south. Jammu & Kashmir State has a geographical area of 222,236 sq.kms. comprising 6.93 per cent of the total Indian territory which includes 78,114 sq. kms. under illegal occupation of Pakistan and 5,180 sq.kms. illegally handed over by Pakistan to China and 37,555 sq. kms. under illegal occupation of China in Leh (Ladakh) district. The population figures exclude population of areas under unlawful occupation of Pakistan and China where Census could not be taken. Thus in an area of 101,387 sq. kms., 10,069,917 people inhabit, which forms a density of99 persons per sq. km. The division of rural-urban area is 100,436.9 sq.kms. rural and 950.1 sq. kms. urban with density of population 75 and 2,637 respectively. Leh (Ladakh) district has the distinction of being the largest district area-wise, in India (45,110.0 sq. kms.) with second lowest density at 3 persons per sq. km, after Lahut and Sipiti in Himachal Pradesh which has the lowest density of2 persons per sq. km. The 101,387 sq. km. area of State is demarcated into 14 districts, 59 tehsils and 121 C.D. blocks which is further delimited into 2,661 panchayats, 75 urban areas and 6,652 villages. The 75 towns include 7 urban agglomerations also. The following 11 tehsils are entirely rural :- 1. Kamah 2. Gurez 3. Kangan 4. Zanskar* 5. Thathri 7. Goo I Gulab Garh 8. Mendhar 9. Surankote 10.

Kathua 47.43 The Paper 2 of Census 2001 presents the rural and urban division of Census data. The basic unit of rural area is the revenue village having definite surveyed boundaries and a definite Hadbast number. The revenue village may be comprised of several hamlets but the data is presented for the entire village as one unit. In addition, the State comprises of 75 urban areas, the details of which are given in the subsequent paragraphs. The rural-urban proportion of population during 1981 Census was 78.95 per cent (4,726,986) and 21.05 per cent (1,260,403) respectively. In Census 2001, the proportion of rural-urban population has shown 3.83 per cent tilt towards the urban population and the rural population constitutes 75.12 per cent of the total population whileas the urban population has gone up from 21.05 per cent in 1981 to 24.88 per cent in 2001. The State has added 98.77 % (1,244,906) in its urban population during the last two decades. In the rural areas it has increased its population by 60.03% (2,837,622). There is a difference of 38.74%. This indicates that during the last 20 years more urbanisation has taken place and the people from rural areas preferred to migrate towards the towns. The reason could be for employment, education, trade etc. Another reason is that 17 new urban areas have been notified which constitute a population of 108,915 i.e. 1.08 %of the total Populatuion and the remaining 2.75 % could be due to the above given reason. 10 Fig.1 DISTRIBUTION OF RURAL AND URBAN POPULATION,2001 1,200 I/) Q 0 0 c:: c:: 1,000 0 ~ 11l :::l C. 0 Q. 800 Districts o Rural • Urban 11 The decadal variation in population by rural and urban areas is given in the below statement :- Rural and Urban population of the State, 1901 - 2001 Year Total Rural Urban 1901 2,139,362 1,980,614 158,748 1911 2.292,535 2,024,017 268,518 1921 2,424,359 2,156,605 267,754 1931 2,670,208 2,352,403 317,805 1941 2,946,728 2,560,163" 386,565 1951 3,253,852 2,796,639 457,213 1961 3,560,976 2,967,661 593,315 1971 4,616,632 3,758,411 858,221 1981 5,987,389 4,726,986 1,260,403 1991 No Census was conducted 2001 10,069,917 7,564,608 2,505,309 Note :- 1951 figures are the arithmetic mean of 1941 and 1961 population It has been marked that during 1911 and 1921 there is a decline in urban population though the de crease was as low as 764 persons. The reason could be due to declassification of some of the urban areas. The table below shows the sex-wise percentage of rural-urban population to the total population of the State in 1981 and 2001 :- Percentage of male, female population in rural and urban areas to the total population 1981 and 2001 Totall Persons Males Females Rural!

During Census 2001, an increase of 0.25 % has been noticed. Thus the annual urban growth rate has gone upto 4.94 %. This shows an annual addition of 62,245 persons to the urban population. During 1981 Census the annual growth rate of rural population was observed 2.58 % which has shown an increase of 0.42 % during Census 200 I and the annual growth rate of rural population has reached 3 %. The table below gives a comparison of rural· urban male-female population ratio to total population of 1981 and 2001 :.

But, on the other hand, it shows a decline of 1.53 % in urban areas. URBAN AREAS Areas re'cognised as urban in the census include all places with municipalities, corporations, cantonment boards, town areas and notified areas, in the State 72 such statutory urban areas exist. Apart from this, 3 Census towns have been identified and recognised. A census town is such area which satisfies the following criteria :. 1. A minimum population of 5,000; 2. At least 75 % of the male working population engaged in non· Agri"ultural and allied activities 3. A population density of at least 400 per sq. km. or 1,000 per sq. mile.

The highest return given in sex ratio in urban areas is in Gulmarg tehsil with 1460 females per 1,000 males, while Sunderbani has returned the lowest ratio with 716 females per 1,000 males. Sunderbani has the lowest sex ratio in rural area also followed by Hiranagar.

Leh with the lowest child population of 6. 16 % is followed by Srinagar district 10.13% and Pulwama with 12.09%. This indicates more urbanisation and literacy-less' children. The national average of child popu lation is 15.37% to the total population. The child population in the StateslUnion Territories of the country ranges from as low as 10.58% in Goa to as high as 19.84% in Meghalaya State to the total population. The State-wise position of child population is given in the following table in descending order :- State-wise percentage of child population (0-6 age group) by sex to total Population in decending order Name of Rank Percentage of child population StatelU.T Persons Males Females 1 2 3 4 5 India 15.37 15.42 15.32 Meghalaya 19.84 19.83 19.84 Bihar 2 19;59 19.41 19.78 Rajasthan 3 18.51 18.63 18.37 Uttar Pradesh 4 18.35 18.18 18.54 Arunachal Pradesh 5 18.33 17.77 18.96 Iharkhand 6 17.82 17.60 18.06 Dadra & Nagar Haveli 7 17.77 16.31 19.57 Madhya Pradesh 8 17.58 17.50 17.68 Chhatisgarh 9 16.68 16.80 16.56 Assam 10 16.33 16.07 16.62 Mizoram 11 15.88 15.62 16.17 Uttaranchal 12 15.56 16.04 15.06 Haryana 13 15.46 15.81 15.05 Lakshadweep 14 14.62 14.42 14.83 37 Name of Rank Percentage of child population State/U.T Persons Males Females 1 2 3 4 5 Sikkim 15 14.28 13.48 15.19 Jammu & Kashmir 16 14.21 13.94 14.52 Orissa 17 14.11 14.27 13.95 Nagaland 18 14.09 13.62 14.61 Delhi 19 13.96 13.63 14.37 West Bengal 20 13.88 13.67 14.10 Maharashtra 21 13.63 13.67 13.59 Gujarat 22 13.57 13.88 13.24 Tripura 23 13.38 13.22 13.55 Manipur 24 13.09 13.21 12.97 Karnataka 25 12.94 13.04 15.85 Andhra Pradesh 26 12.77 12.87 12.68 Daman & Diu 27 12.66 11.24 14.67 Himachal Pradesh 28 12.66 13.15 12.16 Punjab 29 12.58 13.15 11.93 Andaman & Nicobar Islands 30 12.54 11.78 13.44 Chandigarh 31 12.13 11.66 12.75 Pondicherry 32 11.60 11.86 11.35 Kerala 33 11.48 12.03 10.95 Goa 34 10.58 10.73 10.42 Tamil Nadu 35 10.98 12.04 10.95 38 Jammu and Kashmir state ranks 16th in child population among the country's 35 StatesiUnion Territories. In this chapter, we deal with the rural and urban break up of child population. The following table gives the percentage of rural and urban child population to total child population in 2001 :- TIRIU Persons Males Females Total 100.00 100.00 100.00 Rural 82.01 81.38 82.68 Urban 17.99 18.62 17.32 82.01% of the child population live in rural areas whileas 17.99% in urban areas. Though the urban population to the total population of the State is 24.88%, whileas the rural population is 75.12%. The percentage of rural child population to total rural population is 15.52 and that of urban population is 10.28. This reflects that in urban areas people are more inclined towards family planning while in rural areas it is not finding much favour. The ratio of child population (0-6 age group) to the total population during 1981 was 19.24% which has shown a downward trend to 14.21 % during Census 2001 which is an indication that the people are becoming more conscious of the population explosion. The increase in literacy rate may be one of the factors of people becoming more conscious about family planning. The following table gives the percentage of child population by sex to total male and female population in 1981 and 2001 :- Percentage of child population by sex to the total/rural/urban population of 1981and 2001 1981 2001 TIRIU Persons Males Females Persons Males Females Total 19.24 18.54 20.03 14.21 13.94 14.52 Rural 20.00 19.25 20.84 15.52 15.32 15.73 Urban 16.40 15.92 16.94 10.28 10.01 10.61 The above table, indicates the ratio of child population in urban areas to the total population, in 1981 was 16.40% which has gone down to 10.28% during 2001 in 20 years, the child population marked a decline of 6.12 % in urban areas. The decline in rural areas is observed at the rate of 4.48% in Census 2001. The following table gives a comparative picture of child population by sex/rural/urban break-up in 1981 and 2001 :- 39 Male, female ratio of the child population to the total child population in ruraVurban areas, 1981 and 2001 Persons/Males/ 1981 2001 Females Total Rural Urban Total Rural Urban Persons 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 Males 50.93 50.74 51.78 51.62 5l.23 53.42 Females 49.07 49.26 48.22 48.38 48.77 46.58 The above table depicts that the proportion of 0-6 age group population in 2001 has slightly gone in favour of males as compared to 198) both in rural and urban areas.

The State of Jammu and Kashmir has enhanced its literacy by 23.82 % from 30.64% in 1981 to 54.46% in 2001 but still lags behind the national average by 10.92%. Amongst the 35 States/Union Tcrritories of India, the Jammu and Kashmir ranks 33. The highest literacy rate in the country is in Kerala at 90.92% and the lowest is in Bihar at 47.53% followed by lharkhand with 54. J 3%. The table given below shows the changing pattern of literacy in Jammu & Kashmir State since 1981 :- Percentage of male, female literacy in total/rural/urban population, 1981 and 2001 Total!

It has marked an increase of24.29% and 23.45% in respect of male and female literacy respectively during the last two decades. The rural males have taken lead over urban males by 3.56%. This could be attributed to more coverage of educational facilities in the rural areas. The literacy rate among males in rural areas has increased by 23.99% since 1981 Census. In respect of urban males, thereis·an increase of20.43% only. Similarly, the literacy progress among the female is noticed higher in rural areas by 1.73 % than the urban areas.

Surprisingly, Srinagar district falls at the bottom. This could be due to the impact of the militancy. All the districts which were affected by militancy have returned a low literacy rate. In the districts of Rajauri and Punch where the militancy has picked up in late 1990's have topped the urban literacy rate whileas Badgam remains at the bottom with 57.1 1% in urban areas.

The female literacy of Bhaderwah tehsil (Dada district) in 1981 Census was 45.75% in urban areas, which has jumped to 93.91 % since then. It is unimaginable that the difference between the lowest and the highest literacy rate is 73.25% among females of urban areas. Out of 59 tehsils, 24 tehsils have returned over 70% literacy rate among females of urban areas in 200 1 and all these tehsils incidentally are from Jammu province except Leh tehsil of Kashmir province which has a female literacy rate of 72.47% in urban areas. - - - Sonawari tehsil (Baramula district) recorded second lowest literacy rate among its female popUlation of 73,312 in urban areas with 22.42% in 200 1, whileas in 1981 the female literacy rate of Sonawari was as 49 low as 3.30%.
