摘要:The rapid population growth results to economic difficulties, problems for resource mobilization,economic instability, increased unemployment, mounting external indebtness and finally low rate of progress. Peoplewere well aware about the importance of population studies from very ancient period. Explosively growing populationhas attracted the attention of social scientists and policy makers. For country like India, it is very important to study thedecadal variation of population growth it helps in realizing problems. The population growth and socio economicchanges are closely related to each other. In present study, Rajasthan has been chosen as study area. This state is thebiggest state of our country having challenges of desert and desertification. In this state the distribution of population isirregular due to harsh physical condition. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the change in population growthrate in the District Head Quarters (DHQs) of Rajasthan during the three decades 1981-91, 1991-2001 and 2001-11. Thepresent study is based on city/town level data obtained from the Directorate of Census Operations, Jaipur; Rajasthan.The data are concerned to the census 1981, 1991, 2001 and 2011. Due to push- pull factors, the rural urban migrationis causing the process of urbanization. On micro level DHQs are working as magnets in attracting people in view oftheir vast avenues of employment. This is the reason the population characteristics of DHQs are changing. This spatiotemporalanalysis has verified the stage of population stabilization in the DHQs of Rajasthan. Rajasthan belongs to thegroup of so called BIMARU states but the DHQs are showing an amazing decline in their population growth rate. Theobservation is showing good sign of population growth pattern
