Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Haryana NCR sub-region has witnessed a dynamic change in the growth of population, economic activities, residential growth and reduction in agricultural land in the last two decades. This region witnessed a higher population growth (27.47%) as compared to Haryana (19.9%) in general during 2001-2011 which is on account of high rate of urbanization in this region. High growth of urbanization has resulted in dramatic changes in land use in the region. The present study is an attempt to elaborate and show the demographic changes in Haryana NCR sub-region in the last decade (2001-2011) by computing the composite index and mapping of the distribution pattern/changes in demography with the help of Arc GIS (10.3) software. The data has been used at the tehsil level and the tissues having the lowest composite index indicated the highest level of demographic development, while those having the highest composite index indicated the lowest level of demographic development. The Map shows that tehsils having composite value in the range below 86.4 are highly developed with the highest degree of demographic change. Tehsils that have composite values in the range 86.4 to 100 indicated the low degree of development and demographic change. The tehsils with the composite index of more than 100 experienced the lowest demographic change and subsequently low demographic development. The urbanization had the positive correlation (0.83) with demographic development. On the other hand, female work force, total population growth, sex ratio and female literacy show correlation values 0.49, 0.43, 0.27 and 0.13 respectively. The proportion of non-agricultural workers to total workers indicated negative correlation value (-0.06) with demographic development.
