PREFACE

The Indian Census has a tradition to tabulate the data collected during each decennial Census with the consideration of their utility to Government planners, Research Scholars and other data users who have thirst for such data for use in their various projects with which they are associated. The scope of Tabulation of Census data is limitless. But the focus has always been to produce basic data as quickly as possible for its immediate use by various agencies and data users.

The present publication contains A-series Tables together with several appendices and statements generated from the basic data presented in StatelDistrictffehsilffownlWardlVillages - Primary Census Abstract.

The compilation and tabulation of the data of A-series tables have involved a considerable amount of stannous work which was ably completed by the Central Tabulation Unit of the Directorate of Census Operations under the able supervision of Sh.

I have no option but to endorse that this book would have not emerged as interesting as it has emerged now without the ablest efforts of Sh. Syed Gh.

The Table indicates that the State has registered a growth rate of 7.16% during the decade 1901 to 1911. 50 but in 1911-21 the growth rate has lowered to 5.75%. since 1901. The population in 1901 has been recorded The population went on increasing steadily after 1921 as 2139362 and in 1941, it returns as 2946728 thereby and indicated growth rate of 10.14% in 1931, 10.36% registering more than 8 lac persons to 1901 Census in 1941 and 10.42% in 1951. The growth rate during population. During the decades 1961-71 and 1971-81, 1951-61 has been registered as 9.44%. It may be the population has increased as 10,55,656 and 13,70,757 mentioned here that growth rate for 1941-51 and 1951- persons respectively. In other words the popUlation in 61 cannot be regarded as realistic because for the 1961 has returned 3560976 and in 1981 the figure came purpose of comparison 1951 population was worked as 59,87,389 showing increase of 24.26,413 persons out on the basis of arithmetic mean between 1941 and during 1961-81. The tremendous increase in popUlation 1961 population as indicated in the foot note of Table during 2 decades (1961-71 and 1971-81) is equal to A-2. During the decades 1961-71, 1971-81 the growth that of State's tota) population returned in 1921. The rate has increased speedily registering 29.65% and 2001 Census population of the State returns as 29.69% respectively. The growth rate of two decades 1,01,43,700 whereas in 1961 the State was inhabited viz; 1981-2001 has been recorded as 69.42%. Since in by only 35,60,976 persons thus registering the increase 1991, no Census was conducted in the State hence the approximately three times more than that of 1961 growth of 1991-2001 is not applicable as such the population. The rapid increase in population is decade has been deleted. However, interpolated essentially due to steps taken by Government to improve population for 1991 communicated by Headquarters medical facilities, eradication of epidemics which has for the State is 7837051 and that of 2001 Census has reduced the death rate. returned 10143700 persons indicating thereby the The district-wise pattern of growth in population after decadal variation of 29.43%. It is interesting to note 1961 Census indicates the increasing trend which that during the period of 100 years ending 2001, the obviously is cause for state's high growth percentage, State has witnessed a addition of 80,04,338 persons however, each district has its own pattern of growth. increasing from 21,39,362 to 1,01,43,700 giving rise to Some districts are by and large conforming with overall a growth of 374.15% during 1901-2001. state's growth and some have low trend. Table As is discernible from the statement the produced below gives rate of the districts arranged in growth ofpopulation ofthe State rose slowly upto 1941 above and lower growth rate groups compared with ranging from 7.16% - 10.36% between the decades State's average for the period 1981-2001.

As can be seen that Kupwara district has main districts viz; Sri nagar and Jammu are at par with emerged as a district with the highest population growth State average, whereas Kathua district shows quite rate (97.84) followed by Kargil district (88.79). Two low growth rate of 49.02 percent.

Comparing the above three sets of figures of Jammu which were falling in high rank category in each decade, varying pattern of growth is discernible 1971-81 have shown pretty low population growth in each district. Some districts show rapid rise in one in 1981-91 and 1991-2001. Interestingly districts of decade and in other decade the same district indicates Kupwara, Anantnag.

64 The above statement shows the comparison in 20 years and the decline is also visible in population percentage of villages and population by class of implying continuous promotion of lower sized villages villages in 1981 and 200 I worked out from the absolute to higher classes. Another interesting feature of the figures produced in Table A-3. As is clear from the data is that the proportion of villages belonging to the 2001 Census tlgures given in the Table. 2176 villages population range 1000-1999,2000-4999 and 5000+ has fall in the population size less than 500 (33.91 %) 1664 registered an increase and the population claimed by fall in the range of 500 to 999 (25.93). 1546 villages these groups has also gone up except in the range (24.10%) fall in 1000-1999 size, 886 in 2000-4999 1000-1999. In respect of size class lUOO to 1999, the (13.81 %) and 145 in population range 5000+ (2.26%) percentage of number of villages to total number of out of total 6417 inhabited villages of the State. The villages has increased whereas the percentage rural population of the State returned as 7627062 population to total population has decreased. In size persons in 2001 Census fall in the above categorized class (i) 2000-4999 (ii) 5000-9999 and (iii) 10,000+ sizes in proportion of7 .71 percent, 15.82 percent, 28.65 percentage increase is observed both in number of percent, 34.34 percent and 13.48 percent respectively. villages and population during the gap of 20 years. The statement clearly indicates that highest In the districts also trend is similar to the trends concentration of population viz; 34.34 falls in the in the State-level tlgures are noticed except that in population range 2000-4999 and this percentage occupy Srinagar, Badgam, Pulwama, Kargil, Doda, Rajauri 13.81 percent villages. Similarly only 7.71 percent and Jammu a slight increase in percentage in 2001 population belonging to the range of less than 500 Census over that of 1981 in the range 500-999 is revolve around 33.91 percent villages of the same discernible. In the range 1000-1999 population size population range. where at State level percentage of villages has gone It will be observed from the data presented in up in the Census 2001 as compared to 1981 Census, the above statement that during the two decades the but in Srinagar the position is reverse. The picture in number of villages to total number of villages has column··8 indicating percentage of population to total decreased in size classes (i) below 500 and (ii) 500 to population in the same range indicates high percentage 999 alongwith corresponding decrease in population to in respect of Leh.
