Raju Sarkar
I am Dr. Raju Sarkar, a highly regarded scholar specializing in Development Studies with a focus on Demography. My educational journey began with a Bachelor's and Master's in Geography from the University of North Bengal, Darjeeling. To deepen my understanding, I pursued a Master's in Population Studies at the International Institute for Population Sciences, Mumbai. This academic foundation paved the way for my Ph.D. from the Institute for Social and Economic Change, Bengaluru, solidifying my expertise in demographic studies.
Currently serving as Scientist C at the Indian Institute of Public Health, Gandhinagar, I actively contribute to shaping public health discourse and policies. My diverse experience also includes a role as a Research Fellow at the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Institute of Asian Studies, Kolkata, where I explored various facets of Asian studies.
I am proud to hold accolades such as the UGC-NET in Geography and Population Studies, highlighting my exceptional academic achievements. Proficient in data analysis tools like SPSS, STATA, R, and MORTPACK, I bring a robust analytical approach to my research. Additionally, I have expertise in geographical software such as ArcGIS and QGIS, showcasing a comprehensive skill set.
As a committed scholar, I boast a significant publication record, contributing meaningfully to academic discussions. My dedication to continuous learning is evident through my active participation in workshops and training programs, ensuring I stay abreast of emerging methodologies and technologies in my field.
In essence, I am Dr. Raju Sarkar, a dedicated academician and researcher passionate about advancing Development Studies and Demography. My unique blend of academic excellence, professional engagement, and a commitment to lifelong learning positions me as a leader in driving positive change through my contributions to research and public health initiatives.

from the Census of India and the Sample Registration System. The specific purpose of this paper is investigating the impacts of demographic changes and urbanisation in India during the period 1991–2011.
The research paper has employed quantitative technical analysis with the help of ordinary least square regression for establishing the relationship of association between urbanisation and socio-demographic variables. The study has endeavored a theoretical model associating the process of urbanisation with the demographic transition. It finds that the process of
urbanisation has lead to the reduction of both fertility and mortality rates in India. The smooth decline in fertility and mortality rates in urban areas of India during the 2 decades of 1991–2011 implies the positive contribution of urbanisation. Similarly, the paper argues that to a large extent, various demographic indicators have influenced the process of
urbanisation. The study successfully pinpoints that urbanisation is positively related to the demographic variables of population growth, density, and migration. It also finds positive and significant effects of per
capita income and female work participation rate on urbanisation.
level of urbanization in EAG states based on the secondary sources of data like Census of India and Sample Registration System (SRS). It is to analyze patterns of population growth, birth and death rate, age-sex structure, literacy differential index in EAG states. The population growth and demographic structure are determined by variation in process of fertility, mortality, migration and age composition. The demographic characteristics of the EAG states are their high fertility rate, IMR, MMR, high population growth rate, low literacy rate. Based on the 2011 census, the economically developed states more or less show higher levels of urbanization as compared to EAG states followed by Bihar (11.3 %), Orissa (16.6 %). But it is observed that among the eight EAG states, only two states have highest annual exponential growth rate (AEGR) i.e. Uttarakhand (3.5%) and Chhattisgarh (3.49%) in this decade. It also notably that, there was no negative AEGR recorded in 2001-2011. These states show a steady decline in fertility, low reproductive health of women and the relatively slower rise in contraceptive use. In the EAG states, concerted efforts are required to improve the education, health facilities, sanitation, urbanization, and income etc.
