ABSTRACT:
Out of all the 16 districts of Chhattisgarh, a majority of 10 districts fall in very rapid population growth category, two districts in explosive growth, three in rapid growth, only one in moderate growth and none in slow growth.. Amongst all the districts of the state, Mahasamund district has emerged as a model district having minimum annual exponential growth rate (0.84 percent) during 1991-2001 that placed the district into moderate growth category, second highest sex ratio (1018) after Rajnandgaon (1023) during the year 2001, sex ratio favourable to women during the entire century from 1901 to 2001, and lowest (9.09 percent) increase in population density from the year 1991 to 2001. Surguja and Korba districts experiencing population rise at explosive rate seek special attention to be given. The success story of Mahasamund district needs to be replicated in other districts of Chhattisgarh to address rapid increase in population at districts and state level as well.
