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.
Keywords: Exponential growth rate, Demography, Chhattisgarh.
