General Notes
1. The figures for India and Manipur, include by sex, the
estimated population, 0-6 population and literates of
Paomata, Mao Maram and Purul sub-divisions of Senapati
district of Manipur for Census 2001 and 2011.
2. For working out density of India and the State of Jammu &
Kashmir, the entire area and population of those portions
of Jammu & Kashmir which are under illegal occupation of
Pakistan and China have not been taken into account.
3. For Census 2011, the population of “Others” has been
clubbed with the “Males” for working out population, 0-6
population, literates and related rates and ratios.
4. In working out ‘decadal variation’ and ‘percentage
decadal variation’ for 1941-1951 & 1951-1961 of India and
Nagaland State, the population of Tuensang District for 1951
(7,025) & the population of Tuensang (83,501) & Mon
(50,774) districts for 1961 Census have not been taken
into account as the area was censused for the first
time in 1951 and the same are not comparable.
5. The 1981 Census could not be held owing to disturbed
conditions prevailing in Assam. Hence the population
figures for 1981 of Assam have been worked out by
‘Interpolation’.
6. The 1991 Census was not held in Jammu & Kashmir.
Hence the population figures for 1991 of Jammu & Kashmir
have been worked out by ‘Interpolation’.

by sex for 1901 (246,354), and 1931 (258,628) and 1941

these years are, therefore, exclusive of these population
figures so far as distribution by sex is concerned.

1961.

129.5 sq.kms. of areas only. In 1961 censused areas of
Tuensang District of Nagaland was increased to 5356.1 sq.

the decades, from 1901 to 1951 have been estimated for the
districts of Kohima, Phek, Wokha, Zunheboto, and
Mokokchung of Nagaland. Estimation however could not be done
for Tuensang and Mon as they were not fully censused prior
to 1961.

Bhind, Gwalior, Datia, Shivpuri, Guna, Ratlam, Ujjain,
