3.6 DECADAL GROWTH RATE OF POPULATION - INDIA AND MADHYA PRADESH

In Census 2011, India has registered a decadal growth of 17.6 percent and Madhya Pradesh that

of 20.3 percent, over the Census 2011 figures. Thus, the growth rate in the state is higher by

2.7 percentage points compared to national average. While comparing population of the state

since 1901, we find that there has been comparatively lesser growth of population during the

first half of the last century 1901 to 1951. Thereafter, there was steady growth of population

during 1951 to 1971. The decadal growth rate in 1951-61 was 24.7 percent and in 1961-71 was

29.3 percent. The declining trend in population started from Census 1971, a decline from 29.3

percent in 1961-71 to 27.2 percent in 1971-81 and 1981-91, 24.3 percent in 1991-01 and 20.3

percent in 2001-11 as shown in Figure 3.10

compared to 31.0, 10.1 and 86 in 2001 as per the SRS Bulletin (volume 45 No. 1). Further, the yearly trends on ‘vital

rates’ during the decade 2001-11, in respect of all these three important vital components is declining {Reference: Family

Welfare Statistics in India, 2009 report (based on Sample Registration System, RGI)}. The effect of these vital rates is

reflected in overall decline in decadal growth rate in the state.

3.10 GROWTH RATE IN DISTRICTS OF MADHYA PRADESH

Madhya Pradesh has registered 20.3 percent of decadal growth rate during 2001-11. Among

districts, Indore has registered highest growth rate of 32.7 percent followed by Jhabua with

30.6 percent and Bhopal with 28.5 percent. On the other hand, Anuppur recorded lowest

On analysis of districts by “percent decadal growth” in different ranges, Statement 3.14 reveals

that there are no districts with less than 12 percent decadal growth. Nine districts with 18.0

percent share to total state population of the state have decadal growth rate between the

range of 12 to 15 percent. Further, there are fifteen districts with 28.3 percent share to total

population which have growth rate between the range of 18 to 21 percent. The maximum

percentage decadal growth rate of more than 30 percent is in two districts, constituting a

3.11 EXPONENTIAL GROWTH RATE

Exponential Growth of population is based on a model wherein, the amount of increment of

a steadily increasing population, per instance of time, rises continuously in proportion to the

population itself.

Statement 3.15 reveals that there is no district which has registered annual exponential growth

rate of less than one during the decade 2001-11, as compared to one district during last decade.

The number of districts registering annual exponential growth rate of 1.5 to 1.9 has increased from

15 to 24 in 2001-11 as compared to 1991-01. Number of districts registering annual exponential

growth rate in the range of 2.0 to 2.4 has fallen to 13, constituting 25.4 percent of total population of

the state in 2001-11; against 25 districts in 1991-01 which constituted 53.1 percent of population.

On comparison of district level growth rates, it is observed that the maximum decline is in

Singrauli (-10.6%), Mandsaur (-10.5%), Raisen (-10.0%) and Satna (-8.4%).
