    • Population is distributed unevenly
    • UP has the highest population followed by MS
    Bihar, WB, AP
    • MS, UP,BI,WB, AP TN MP RAJ KK
    GUJaccount for 76% of population
    • Arunachal Pradesh 0.11% Uttaranchal 0.83%
    Factors responsible for uneven
    distribution of population
    1. Physical Factors: climate, water, terrain, transport
    2. Socio Economic Factors: Settled Agriculture.
    Agri. develop. pattern of human settlements,
    dev. Of transport, industries, urbanization
    3. Historical Factors: development of cities such as
    Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai by British
    Density of Population
    • Number of persons per unit area
    • The density of population (2001) is 313/ sq km.

    • Lowest in Arunachal Pradesh: 13/ per sq km


    NCT: 9340
    • WB; 903 Bihar: 880
    • Himalayan states and North East have low density
    whereas Ganga plain has highest density and other
    states have moderate population
    • Physiological density = total population
    net cultivated area
    • Agricultural density = tota agricultura population
    net cultivated area
    Sex Ratio
    • The sex ratio of population is determined by the
    number of females for every 1000 males. This helps in
    understanding the equality of males and females in the
    society, which consequently gives an idea of the
    nation’s culture.
    • India’s sex ratio has always been on the lower side,
    until recently.
    • States like Kerala and Union Territory of Pondicherry
    have higher sex ratio than the major states.
    Literacy Rate
    This is yet another important characteristics of the
    population because the literacy rate of a country
    determines its economic structure and growth.
    Literacy, according to the 2001 Census, is the ability
    of a person of 7 years and above to read and write in
    any language.
    The census states the literacy rate of the population of
    India is almost 74.04% (2016).
