Abstract

This study covers demographic changes influenced by socio-economic status in Bundelkhand region of MP and UP. This region identified as one of the poorest regions of India in terms of economy. Bundelkhand region comprises 13 districts from UP and MP. Thus this region has been selected for the study. This study is based on Census data of 2001 and 2011 with specific objectives such as –to find out the demographic changes during 2001 to 2011, and to study the demographic characteristics of the study area. Findings shows that urbanization in Bundelkhand region has increased more than state average (MP and UP) during 2001 to 2011. Sex ratio has increased but child sex ratio has decreased less than state average. Literacy rate of this region is 58.8 per cent in 2011. Female literacy rate has been increase by 59 per cent whereas male literacy has increased by 31 per cent in Bundelkhand region. Work participation rate of the region is 39.5 per cent in 2011. Main worker has positively changed by 18 per cent but main agricultural labour has changed negatively by 8 percent in both sexes and residence. Female marginal worker has decreased by 5 per cent during 2001 to 2011 whereas female marginal agricultural labour has decreased by 42 per cent and male marginal agricultural labour has increased by 16 per cent. There were 76 per cent of the population dependent in the bundelkhand region. Population density of the region is 329 persons per square Km. Natural increase rate of population is 2.8 per cent with annual growth rate of 1.6 per cent. Bundelkhand region would take about 43 years to double its population. Birth rate (CBR), death rate (CDR), and infant mortality rate (IMR) are 30.5, 2.6 and 4 per 1000 respectively. This region shows higher birth rate than state (UP) average (18.1) due to non-availability of birth data of some districts of the region. Adolescents (10-19 yrs), youth (15-24 yrs) and adult (15-35yrs) population of this region are 22.7, 19.2 and 36.2 per cent respectively. Adolescent sex ratio is 848 whereas 684 sex ratio among disabled of this region in 2011. Disability in seeing, in hearing and in movement is higher among adolescents and total population of this region related to both MP and UP. Household duty is more common among marginal worker and non-worker in different age groups, Adolescents and sex in rural and urban residents.

We conclude that demographic change in bundelkhand region is more intense than states average (MP and UP) from which the region is identified.

Keywords: Work participation, migration, literacy, disability, sex ratio, adolescent and youth

Introduction

Demographic changes are the quantitative changes of the demographic (population) characteristics in a particular region. Demographic characteristics include age, sex, residence, place of origin and destination, working status, literacy, vital events, population size, social group, etc. Census is the best and reliable source of data for demographic study of the area. Bundelkhand region is one of the poorest regions not only in Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Madhya Pradesh (MP) but all of India. This region is known because of Bundela Raja and it also mentioned in Hindu literatures Ramayana and Mahabharat. Bundelkhand (BKD) region comprises 13 districts. Seven districts are in the state of Uttar Pradesh (UP) namely Jhansi, Banda, Jalaun, Chitrakoot, Mahoba, Hamirpur and Lalitpur. While six districts namely, Datia, Tikamgarh, Chhatarpur, Panna, Sagar and Damoh are in Madhya Pradesh (MP).  There are four geographic regions of UP such as Western, Central, Eastern and Bundelkhand(Southern). Literatures show vast Inter-regional variations in socio-economic, demographic, geographic, and political. The Eastern and Bundelkhand regions are comparatively more backward as compared to Western and Central regions.Bundelkhandregion has very less population, less area per square kilometer, less density of population and lowest literacy rate. The total literacy rate and female literacy rates both are lowest in comparison with all the regions (Narula, YNS).

According to census 2011, 77.9 per cent of the population of Bundelkhand region living in rural areas which is slightly lower from 2001 77.6 per cent. Male population is higher than female. This region is marked by low population density. Related to low population density is low level of urbanisation. There is a clear variation in intra-regional distribution of population. There is higher population density in the Bundelkhand Plain areas (Jalaun, Hamirpur, Banda), and Bundelkhand Intermediate region areas (Jhansi, Tikamgarh), and lower population density in Bundelkhand Upland (Panna) and the southern Damoh and Sagar plateaus (Bundelkhand Information, 2014).

Justification of the study and objectives

Hardly, we find the research articles on bundelkhand region. Development of the region is constant for long time or very slow in motion. Statistical figures of socio-economic factors are not changing as fast as other regions of UP and MP. Most of the research findings are either similar or slightly change of previous study. Thus we have selected this for the study with two specific objectives- –to find out the demographic changes during 2001 to 2011, and to study the demographic characteristics of the study area.

Data and Methodology

This study is based on secondary data of two censuses 2001 and 2011. We have used Primary Census Abstract (PCA), Economic table (B1, B11 and B13), Age data (C13, 14), Disabled data (C20) and migration table (D14, 2001). We have also used civil registration system (CRS) data for required information. There is no specific data on Bundelkhand region. For the purpose of study we have compiled 13 districts from identified states (7 districts of UP and 6 districts of MP) as mentioned above.

We have used all possible demographic analysis such as change in population during 2001 to 2011, sex ratio, work participation rate, literacy, population density, population growth rate, natural increase, birth and death rate, infant mortality. Exponential growth rate has been calculated. We have used formula to analyse demographic characteristics as follows-

Percentage changes= New Value – Old value / Old value * 100

Where

New value = Figure of Census 2011

 Old value = Figure of Census 2001

Disability rate (%) =Number of disabled population/Total number of population∗100

Work Participation rate (%) =Total no. of worker/Total no. of population*100

Literacy rate (%) = Total no. of literate/ Total no. of Population *100

Sex Ratio (per 1000) = Total no. female/Total no. of Male *1000

Dependency ratio (%) =Population (0-14+ >60 years)/ Population (15-59Yrs)*100

Urbanisation rate (%) = Urban population/Total population *100

Migration rate (%) = Total migrant/Total population *100

CBR (or CDR) = Number of birth (or death) /Total Population (Mid-year) *1000

Infant Mortality Rate (per 1000) =Number of death <1years / Total births in a year*1000

Results and Discussion

Findings focused on bundelkhand region, MP and UP. Results and discussion have been divided into four sections- Demographic characteristics, adolescents and youth, literacy rate and work status by sex and residence. 

Demographic Characteristics

We have discussed earlier that Bundelkhand region is the part of MP and UP. Table 1 indicates the changes of the population during 2001 to 2011. Population has increased by 18.3 per cent of the total population which is lower than both states. Percentage change of female (19.2) population is higher than male (17.5) population. Rural and urban bifurcation also shows higher change in female population. Chitrakoot district UP show highest increased of the population by 29.4 per cent during 10 years gap followed by Datia district (MP) 25.2 per cent. Hamirpur district of UP notice lowest population growth i.e., 5.8 per cent but it also found that urban area of this district shows that 20.7 per cent of the population has increased.

Source: Registrar General, India 2001 and 2011

Child population (0-6 years) of both sexes has decreased by three per cent in which 3.2 and 2.2 per cent has decreased in rural and urban respectively. Female population has decreased by four percent in rural areas whereas in urban areas it is 2.7 per cent. Table 1 clearly indicates highest decline of child population in Hamirpur district by 18.2 per cent. This percentage (20.3) is higher in rural areas whereas urban areas show 6.4 per cent decline of children. Female children have decline more than male children in both residences.

Schedule caste (SC) population has increased by 17.8 in bundelkhand region in which 16.9 per cent in rural areas and 22.1 percent in urban has increased. It indicates that SC population migrated to urban from rural areas. There are 37 per cent of tribes population has increased in the region which is higher than states average. Bundelkhand part of UP shows that Chitrakoot (36500%) and Lalitpur (3580400%) district shows unexpected population increment during 2001 to 2011. The reason of this is not clear but both districts are adjoining to the MP and we can expect only migration is the main cause of the increment of tribe population in both districts. Another reason is that in 2001 the tribes population in these districts were less in numbers. Table 1 also shows that tribes are not in rural areas in 2001.

Urbanization in Bundelkhand region of UP has slightly changed in 2011 from 2001. Fig.1 depicts 22.4 and 22.7 per cent urban population 2001 and 2011 respectively.

Development of the any nation is not due to its natural environment and physical facilities but due to its human resources. Dependency ratio shows working and non-working age population of the country. Table 2 reveals that 76 per cent of dependent population are in this region which is lower than state average (UP) in 2011. Highest dependency ratio was recorded in Chitrakoot district (91.1 %) followed by Banda (85.2%) and Lalitpur district (82.9%).  Work participation rate and literacy rate of bundelkhand region of UP are also higher than state average but sex ratio and population density is lower than state average. Annual growth of the population is 1.6 during 2001 to 2011 that indicates that about 43 years would be required for doubling bundelkhand population.  High annual population growth rate was recorded in Chitrakoot district (2.6) whereas low growth was found in the Hamirpur (0.6). Resultant of this natural increase has been recorded by 2.8 per cent in the region. Crude birth rate (CBR), Crude Death rate (CDR) and Infant death rate (IMR) were 30.5, 2.6 and 4 per 1000 in bundelkhand region in 2001.

Sex ratio is the indicator of sex composition of the area whereas child sex ratio (CSR) directly linked with fertility in a decade. Visaria (1971) reported sex imbalances firstly. Fig.2 depicts that child sex ratio decline across the region. Jhansi is one of the highly literate and developed districts of Bundelkhand region that reported lowest child sex ratio in declining trends. In 2001, CSR in Jhansi was 886 which are declined by 20 point in 2011. Kumar and Sathyanarayana (2012) also estimated, 859 CSR of Jhansi. Table 4 clearly indicates that all the districts of bundelkhand regions witness of declining child sex ratio during 10 years in both residences. Table 3 shows positive change in sex ratio except in bundelkhand part of rural UP.Son preference is one of the reasons of declining child sex ratio (Agnihotri, 2000). Indian census (2011) shows that the overall sex ratio has slightly improved from 927 in 1991, 933 in 2001 to 943 in 2011 census. Fig.3, 4 and 5 shows the age sex composition in bundelkhand region.

Literacy Status in Bundelkhand region

Literacy and education is the most important indicator for the human development. Education makes individuals capable to respond their situations. Literacy is a crucial parameter of socio-economic development (President of India). This is the period of globalization and privatization of all the sectors in India and of course in the whole world. Literacy is a term of quality of man whereas education is the term of quality with quantity of degrees. Literacy does not show degree obtained by definition. Literacy means “the person who can read, write, and speak any language (mentioned in Indian constitution” treated as literate in India”.
Literacy is an important means of communication and development. It is one of the major indicators of development in a society. It forms an important input in overall development of individuals enabling them to comprehend their social, economic, political and cultural environment better and respond to it appropriately. Census 1991 has given more meaningful data of literacy of the population seven years and above. According to Indian Census, literate are those who can read, write with understanding in any language. Literacy rate has increased across the country. Literacy rate has increased by 10 percent point during 2001 to 2011(Fig.11). There are 40 per cent literacy has increased in 10 years in bundelkhand region which is higher than state average (UP). It is happy to note that female literacy has changed positively by 104 per cent in Lalitpur district followed by Mahoba (92.7) and Banda (79) whereas this percentage in rural areas is higher i.e., 128.8, 114.1 and 93.5 per cent respectively. Literacy rate is quantitative indicator of development but does not indicate that quality of human resources improved better. We are observing that quality of education has decreased with increasing literacy rate.

Work Status in Bundelkhand Region, MP and UP

Census of India reported two categories of population- workers and non-workers. Workers are those who engaged any economic activities in year (Census of India). Workers further classified as Main worker and Marginal worker. They further categorised each into four categories as Agricultural labour, cultivator, household worker and others. In 2011 census, According to duration of work, marginal workers again divided into two sub-categories i.e., 0-3 months and 3-6 months. Marginal workers and non-workers are included students, household duties, dependents, pensioners, rentiers, beggar/vagrants etc. These data are by age, sex and residence.

Changes in activity status indicate employment status of the population. Figures in Table 11 shows clearly that in bundelkhand region main agricultural labour declined 8.1 per cent during 2001 to 2011, in which male and female percentage is 7 and 12.9 percent respectively. In rural areas this percentage is slightly more. In contrast to this urban area shows increment in agriculture main worker by both sexes. Similarly this trend is also appearing among marginal worker (Table 12). It is also found the cultivator main worker has increased more than 100 times in both residences by both sexes, but female are leading in position in cultivation work. Marginal male agriculture labour has increased by 16.1 point whereas female marginal agriculture labour declined by 42.1 per cent in both residences (Rural & urban). Main worker in household duties has declined in both residences in bundelkhand region but this is not found in MP and UP. But, this trend is not found among male marginal workers. Household male marginal workers have increased by 38.2 per cent (Table 12). 

Among marginal worker (all age group) such as students, household duties, dependents, pensioners, rentiers, beggar/vagrants, etc., higher percentage (64.55) was reported in bundelkhand region which is higher than states (MP&UP) average (Table 13). Similar patterns are also seeing in Table 14).

Conclusions

Change in demographic characteristics during 2001 to 2011 is recorded in all the districts of UP and MP in general and particular in bundelkhand region. Bundelkhand region comprises 13 districts from both MP and UP. Urbanisation, sex ratio, literacy rate, work participation rate has increased from 2001 to 2011 in bundelkhand region whereas child sex, agricultural labour and household workers has declined during same periods.  Adolescent and youth population has increased with disabilities. Proportion of rural and male population is higher than urban and female population. Migration rate was recorded highest during 1991 to 2001 in bundelkhand region.
