Comparative Demographic Distribution of Upper and Lower Assam

Abstract

India is a country with rich tapestry of cultures, ethnic mixes, languages and traditions which coexist in harmony and peace. Assam, a state in the northeast part of India sets a fine example which contributes to the presence of multiple ethnic identities of the country. The state is generally classified into four major parts i.e. Upper Assam, Lower Assam, Hills and Barak Valley and North Assam. There are seven districts under Upper Assam and ten districts under Lower Assam. The paper focuses on the comparative demographic distribution of Upper and Lower Assam. The parameters that are used for the study are physical factors, socio-cultural and political factors, demographics and physical and social disaster. The study consists of data extracted from secondary sources like Census of India, Statistical handbooks, Economic survey reports and other published journals. The main aim of the study is to identify the reasons which has led to the Upper Assam’s decrease in the percentage of total population of the state and Lower Assam’s increase in the percentage of the state in 2011 as compared to 2001. Finally, suggestions shall be derived from the best practices to ensure that proper attention is paid to the rising population of Lower Assam. Also certain measures shall be proposed to achieve a balanced growth in the state.
