India: Preliminary Demography of 2011 Population Census presents a
detailed analysis of the provisional data of India's 2011 population
census that have been released recently. The focus of the analysis is on
the distribution of selected demographic variables across administrative
units within the country including population density and age and sex
composition of the population. The monograph also analyses inter-state
migration patterns by comparing the enumerated population with the
estimated one. The analysis reveals that population growth in India has
been faster than the projected one during the period 2001-2011 despite
the fact that population growth has slowed down during 2001-2011
compared to the period 1991-2001.
