What to Focus On

  • Census is held every 10 years.
  • First population Census: 1872.
  • First complete Census: 1881.
  • Population distribution in India is highly uneven.
  • Uttar Pradesh has the highest population.
  • Maharashtra, Bihar, and West Bengal also have very large populations.
  • Density of population = number of persons per unit area.
  • Density of population is a crude measure of human-land relationship.
  • India’s density in 2011: 382 persons per sq km.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Population density and physiological density mean the same thing.

Agricultural density is calculated using total population divided by cultivated area.

The first Census of India was in 1881, so 1872 can be ignored.
