Geography: Class IX
Task- Project Report on Population Distribution of India.1. Divide the class in groups of ten and assign each group two states of India, one with high population density and another with low population density.
2 Ask the groups to prepare a report of the respective states highlighting the given concepts:
Outline map of the states. Total geographical area of the states. Total population of the states. The main relief feature of the state. The main reason for high density of population. The main reason for low density of population. Calculation of density of population.

Justify the reasons for variations in population distribution. 4. Enlist the favorable & unfavorable factors for the concentration of population in a particular state.
Section: B
What does the overall evaluation reveal?
1. Feedback for teachers:
a While administering the task teachers found out some errors in authenticity of the data collected and some of the students were unable to calculate density of population.
b On the basis of this feedback teachers will update the information on population distribution and relief ,area of the state from the year book published by Govt. of India (Ministry of Information and Broadcasting)
c Similarly, concept of population density and actual population will be revised in the class.
