Population growth refers to the increase or decrease of inhabitants in a particular area during a specific period of time. West Bengal is one of the populous states of India and Paschim Medinipur is a highly populated district of West Bengal. The western part of this district is formed by Jhargram Subdivision which is economically very backward in nature compared to the other subdivisions of the district. This paper analyses the population growth of Jhargram Subdivision during a period of fifty years (1961 to 2011) and finds out that the region had very high population growth rate during 1961 which has come down considerably in 2011. But during each decade a certain undulating trend of population growth in each block can be seen as a result of natural increase and socio-econo-political scenario of the district. The analysis reveals that the study area has entered the late second stage of demographic transition in 2011 from first stage in 1961.

It is right that population is one of the essential components of economic activities of any society. Different power holders like Cooch Behar Kingdom, Sikkim, Nepal, East India Company etc controlled Terai region in Darjeeling district in different periods. Once upon a time this region was vacant or very less populated. This area started to attract the people to settle here largely when the British East India Company acquired it from Sikkim. After that, this area started to become filled with people coming from different parts of this state, and other states of India and from other nations also. This growth of population has brought many changes in economic activities in this region. This paper aims to highlight the economic changes that are resulted due to the growth of population. This study is mainly based on secondary data.

The South 24 Parganas is the largest and the second populated district is originated on 1 st March in 1986 in West Bengal state in India. The paper primarily explains about the history of population growth and gives an overview of the trends of population growth over hundred years of the district and patterns of population growth has been discussed in block level for last three decades. It explains the differential population growth for both rural and urban areas. It also suggests that the rural unemployment and diminishing agricultural productivity are responsible for the rural urban migration and resultant very high population growth in urban areas than rural areas. This paper attempts to identify the accelerating population growth in the northern part of the study area which is contiguous to Kolkata due to the urbanisation, industrialization and commercialization etc. whereas declining trends of population growth has been observed in the rural agrarian littoral deltaic southern part which is contiguous to the Sundarbans mangrove forest.

Growth of population refers to, the change in the number of inhabitants of a territory during a specific period of time. The number of births, deaths and migration are the three components, which play a vital role in increasing or decreasing a country's population growth rate. In this study, decadal growth rate has been taken to study the growth process of the rural parts of the country. India's 68.84 per cent of total population lives in rural areas. The present work is based on secondary source of data, which is taken from Census of India, 2011. The study revealed that, the decade of 2001-2011 recorded a decline in the proportion as well as in the growth rate of rural population. This decline is mainly contributed by the economically developed states, with a few exceptions. In comparison to the states, the union territories showed a totally different pattern of growth of rural population. Various factors have lent a helping hand in curbing the ever increasing growth of rural population, during this period.

In this paper we are examines the structure change and population growth trend in Uttar Pradesh. Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state in the country, accounting for 16.4 percent of the country's population. The structure of state income shows that the contribution of primary sector has declined to 41 percent of the state income, though the sector still sustain 73 percent of the total working force. Availability of land & natural resource and environment play an important role in the development of any country or states. But utilization of these resources and best use of economic development is possible only by people. People are searching and best utilize these natural resources according to their needs. The demographics population of Uttar Pradesh is a multifarious subject, which is undergoing dynamic change. To understand the population it is very important to understand its all charterstic in which age composition has an important role. The working population and work participation rate highlights the occupational distribution of a states. The information is essential for calculating state domestic product at factor cost popularly known as "State Income" for important tertiary sectors by adopting statistical methods of interpolation/extrapolation. The generally well performing states are Kerala,

A growth in population implies a change between two given points in time. The net change in population between two points in time is expressed in percentage and is described as the growth rate of population. Population growth takes place due to migration and natural increase, which if unchecked accounts for multifarious problems. These problems manifest themselves in development of slums, shortages of water supply, traffic congestion, problems of waste disposal, etc. This paper studies the growth of population in Darjeeling town and highlights the problems associated with it. It further attempts to evaluate the policies adopted by Darjeeling Municipality to solve such problems and suggest some remedial measures for it.

This study empirically tests the impact of population growth on economic development of Nagaland for the period of 1981-2011. Demographic transition helps in creating a policy environment that takes maximum advantage of the demographic potential of the State. The regression technique was incorporated to investigate the relationship between population growth and economic development. The findings indicate that the labour forces were shifting from the low-productivity agriculture sector to the higher-productivity industry and service sectors. The domino effect of the study indicates that population growth has positively and significantly contributed to economic development but is negatively affected by the unemployment rate. Now although on the one hand, if it increases growth but on the other hand, it creates a problem of unemployment and leads to a decline in net state domestic product and per-capita income. The government is advised to utilize this additional workforce efficiently ...
