The Population growth in India between 1 90 I and 2u 11 can be divided into four stages as follows.
- 1901 – 1921 Stagnant population growth.
- 1921 – 1951 Steady growth.
- 1951 – 1961 Rapid high growth.
- 1981 – 2011 High growth with definite signs of slowing down.
1. In the first stage : In this decade, population growth was naturally curbed with the outbreak of Plague. Cholera. Malaria, influenza and other epidemics. Thus the decade considered as the great divide in the history of Indian Census.
2. In the second stage : The population can be considered as moderate The population growing from about 251 million (1921) to 361 million (1951), an increase of about 110 million. The main reason was decline in ***** rate due to control if epidemics like Plague. Cholera etc.
3. The third stage : is very important, because of the growth rate of population very high. The Population grew from 361 million (1951) to 686 (198!). an increase of about 325 million. The growth has been very rapid after independence. The government of India was implemented man Socio-Economical Programs in all sectors.
4. The fourth stage : It completely differs from other three stages, Here the trend of growth rate of population is gradually slowing down. We can easily justify that the ** from 1981 to 2011 is referred to as a high growth with definite signs of slowing down.
