National Conference of Chief Registrars of Births and Deaths 27-28th January, 2005 Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi
Suman Prashar Joint Director Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India 27TH January 2005
At the Census 2001, sex ratio of population stood at 933 females per 1000 males a marginal increase from 927 recorded at the 1991 Census
Census thus reveals that the deficit of women has risen from about 3.5 million in 1901 to 35 million in 2001
FEMALES PER 1000 MALES 980 970 960 950 940 930 920 910 900 1901 1911
1921 1931 CENSUS YEARS 1941 1951 1961 1971 1981 1991 2001
Decline in child sex ratio from 945 in 1991 to 927 in 2001 has some what activated the political, legal and administrative set up of the country. However the Census findings should now be converted into a tangible action plan to help the cause of the girl child.
Analysis of Census Data It is clear that the sex ratio in the age group 0-6 has decreased at a much faster pace than the overall sex ratio of the country after 1981. The decreasing sex ratio in this child population perhaps has a cascading effect on the population over a period of time leading to diminishing sex ratio in the country
