Demographic Profile of India

A consolidated publication on the demographic scenario of the country was long awaited. This publication is a treasure-trove of demographic data of India showcasing valuable information on various aspects including socio-cultural and economic parameters. Through this work, the author has tried to put the frequently required census data together containing the latest census figures as well as those of the past few censuses. The data used in this publication is basically drawn from public domain open access data from Census 1951 to 2011 as per availability and the sample surveys like Sample Registration System. It contains ten chapters covering Size, growth and sex ratio, Age structure, Literacy and education, Work participation, Marital status, Disability, Fertility, Mortality, Religious affiliations and Migration. The information contained in the publication will be helpful in catering the needs of demographic data users.
