Abstract

Demography is the work coined for the study and analysis of populations based on the various parameters such as size, structure, distribution, and trends. The demographers do not only count the people but involvein understanding the dynamics and characteristics of populations within different geographical areas in the country.The way the population is enumerated has evolved quite a bit and countries employ various methodologies to count and analyze their populations. This includes census surveys, vital statistics records in the form of birth and death registration system, and sampling techniques. Using these methods, the enumeration provide insights into population density (population living in per square kilometer), age distribution and their literacy and work status, migration patterns, and other vital demographic indicators (Visaria, 2004). In the context of India where caste remains an important aspect due to different reasons, demographers find the composition of populations, examining factors such as caste, ethnicity, religion, and education levels. The demographic aspects are crucial for governments in implementing the policies and planning infrastructure to meet the diverse needs of their citizens (Bhagat, 2015). For instance, census data helps the state and center government in allocating the resources efficiently, targeting specific groups or regions which may require more attention. It guides the policymakers to employ healthcare, education, housing, and employment opportunities. By finding the demographic changes, the policymakers can estimate the future challenges and adapt policies accordingly. The demography is one of the most important tool for government, enabling authorities to take informed decisions which help in implementing the interventions that improve the well-being and quality of life for their populations.
