Title: Population Data of Indian Cities (2011 and 2001)

Description: This dataset contains population information for various cities in India, categorized by rank, city name, and population figures for the years 2011 and 2001. Additionally, it includes the corresponding state or union territory to which each city belongs. The dataset provides insights into population changes over a decade in different cities across India.

Columns:

Rank: This column represents the rank of each city based on its population in the year 2011. Cities are typically ranked in descending order of population, with the most populous city having the rank 1.

City: This column contains the names of the cities for which population data is recorded.

Population (2011): This column displays the population count of each city as of the year 2011. The population figures are likely to be recorded in thousands or millions

Population (2001): This column provides the population count of each city as of the year 2001. Comparing this data with the 2011 population figures allows for an analysis of population growth or decline over the decade.

State or Union Territory: This column indicates the administrative division to which each city belongs. In India, cities are typically grouped into states or union territories, and this column helps identify the geographical context of each city.

Actual value and historical data chart for India Urban Population

Historical dataset showing India urban population by year from 1960 to 2023.

The dataset contains year-, month-, state- and gender-wise compiled data on urban population of India from the year 2011 to 2036. The figures of population given for different years are the projected figures, except for the census year of 2011.

In 1951, India’s rural population was approximately 298.6 million, while the urban population was just 62.4 million. In 2011, the rural and urban populations of India rose to 833.7 million and 377.1 million, respectively. The rural population steadily increased by approximately 179% over 60 years. However, the urban population experienced a dramatic rise. It increased by approximately 504% during the same timeframe.

In 2023, approximately a third of the total population in India lived in cities. The trend shows an increase of urbanization by more than 4 percent in the last decade, meaning people have moved away from rural areas to find work and make a living in the cities. Leaving the fieldOver the last decade, urbanization in India has increased by almost 4 percent, as more and more people leave the agricultural sector to find work in services. Agriculture plays a significant role in the Indian economy and it employs almost half of India’s workforce today, however, its contribution to India’s GDP has been decreasing while the services sector gained in importance. No rural exodus in sightWhile urbanization is increasing as more jobs in telecommunications and IT are created and the private sector gains in importance, India is not facing a shortage of agricultural workers or a mass exodus to the cities yet. India is a very densely populated country with vast areas of arable land – over 155 million hectares of land was cultivated land in India as of 2015, for example, and textiles, especially cotton, are still one of the major exports. So while a shift of the workforce focus is obviously taking place, India is not struggling to fulfill trade demands yet.

Urbanisation is a form of social transformation from traditional rural societies to modern, industrial and urban communities. It is long term continuous process. It is progressive concentration of population in urban unit. Kingsley Davies has explained urbanisation as process of switch from spread out pattern of human settlements to one of concentration in urban centers. Migration is the key process underlying growth of urbanization.

Challenges in urban development--->;

Institutional challenges

Urban Governance 74th amendment act has been implemented half-heartedly by the states, which has not fully empowered the Urban local bodies (ULBs). ULBs comprise of municipal corporations, municipalities and nagar panchayats, which are to be supported by state governments to manage the urban development. For this , ULBs need clear delegation of functions, financial resources and autonomy. At present urban governance needs improvement for urban development, which can be done by enhancing technology, administrative and managerial capacity of ULBs.

Planning Planning is mainly centralized and till now the state planning boards and commissions have not come out with any specific planning strategies an depend on Planning commission for it. This is expected to change in present government, as planning commission has been abolished and now focus is on empowering the states and strengthening the federal structure.

In fact for big cities the plans have become outdated and do not reflect the concern of urban local dwellers, this needs to be take care by Metropolitan planning committee as per provisions of 74th amendment act. Now the planning needs to be decentralized and participatory to accommodate the needs of the urban dwellers.

Also there is lack of human resource for undertaking planning on full scale. State planning departments and national planning institutions lack qualified planning professional. Need is to expand the scope of planners from physical to integrated planning- Land use, infrastructure, environmental sustainability, social inclusion, risk reduction, economic productivity and financial diversity.

Finances Major challenge is of revenue generation with the ULBs. This problem can be analyzed form two perspectives. First, the states have not given enough autonomy to ULBs to generate revenues and Second in some case the ULBs have failed to utilize even those tax and fee powers that they have been vested with.

There are two sources of municipal revenue i.e. municipal own revenue and assigned revenue. Municipal own revenue are generated by municipal own revenue through taxes and fee levied by them. Assigned revenues are those which are assigned to local governments by higher tier of government.

There is growing trend of declining ratio of own revenue. There is poor collection property taxes. Use of geographical information system to map all the properties in a city can have a huge impact on the assessment rate of properties that are not in tax net.

There is need to broaden the user charge fee for water supply, sewerage and garbage disposal. Since these are the goods which have a private characteristics and no public spill over, so charging user fee will be feasible and will improve the revenue of ULBs , along with periodic revision. Once the own revenue generating capacity of the cities will improve, they can easily get loans from the banks. At present due to lack of revenue generation capabilities, banks don’t give loan to ULBs for further development. For financing urban projects, Municipal bonds are also famous, which work on the concept of pooled financing.

Regulator

There is exponential increase in the real estate, encroaching the agricultural lands. Also the rates are very high, which are not affordable and other irregularities are also in practice. For this, we need regulator, which can make level playing field and will be instrumental for affordable housing and checking corrupt practices in Real estate sector.

Infrastructural challenges

Housing Housing provision for the growing urban population will be the biggest challenge before the government. The growing cost of houses comparison to the income of the urban middle class, has made it impossible for majority of lower income groups and are residing in congested accommodation and many of those are devoid of proper ventilation, lighting, water supply, sewage system, etc. For instance in Delhi, the current estimate is of a shortage of 5,00,000 dwelling units the coming decades. The United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (UNCHS) introduced the concept of “Housing Poverty” which includes “Individuals and households who lack safe, secure and healthy shelter, with basic infrastructure such as piped water and adequate provision for sanitation, drainage and the removal of hou...
