Delhi is the second most populated city in India. (Table 3.1). Since it is the national capital, the biggest trading centre and the largest centre for small industries in north India, it attracts migrants from the neighbouring States and other parts of the country. In 1901, Delhi was a small town with a population of only 0.4 million, which had increased to 9.42 million by 1991. As per the projections of the Registrar General of India, the population of Delhi crossed 10 million in 1993, and is estimated to reach 13.96 million in 2000. The population is projected at 20 million by 2013. (Table 3.2)
2.
The annual growth of population in Delhi was the highest (6.628%) during 1941-51 because of the huge settlement of displaced persons from Pakistan after partition in 1947. Since then, the annual growth has been 4.31% during 1961-71 and 4.24% during 1981-91. As per the 1991 census, the annual growth of Delhi’s population during 1981-91 (4.24%) was almost double the national average (2.16%). (Table 3.3). The population of Delhi is estimated to have increased at an average of 5 lakh per annum since 1991.
3.
The change in demographic profile of Delhi between 1971-1991 is indicated in table 3.4. The comparative picture for other States (1991) is indicated in table 3.5.
DENSITY
4.
At 6352 persons per sq. km., the population density of Delhi was the highest among the States and Union Territories (1991 Census ) but fifth among the major cities, namely Mumbai, Calcutta, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad (Table 3.1). By the end of the Ninth Five-Year Plan (2002), the density of Delhi will be 10,062 persons per sq. km compared with the projected national density of 313 persons per sq. km. The State-wise population density between 1901 and 1991 is given in table 3.6.
SEX RATIO
5.
The sex ratio (number of females per thousand males) in Delhi declined until 1941 but the trend has reversed subsequently. However, according to the 1991 census, the sex ratio in Delhi at 827 is still lower than the all India ratio of 927. Delhi’s sex ratio from 1901 to 1991 along with national comparisons is given in table 3.7.
AGE DISTRIBUTION
6.
The age distribution of Delhi’s population between 1961-1991 is shown in table 3.8. The trends indicate that
(i)
Population in age group 0-14 has declined significantly from 40.50% in 1961 to 34.73% in 1991.
(ii)
Population in age group 15-59 has increased significantly from 55% in 1961 to 60% in 1991.
(iii)
Population in age group 60 & above has increased from 4.10% in 1961 to 5.11% in 1991.
FAMILY SIZE
7.
As per 1991 census, the average family size is 5.06 persons. The highest number of families i.e. 50% are in the category of 3-5 persons and the lowest 9% in the category of 9 & more persons. The family size in urban areas is 4.99 persons in comparison with rural family size of 5.90 persons. Details are in table 3.9
Literacy
8.
The literacy level in Delhi was only 14% in 1931 but rose to 75% in 1991, which is higher than the national literacy rate of 52% for 1991. Male literacy was 82% and female literacy 67% in 1991 (Table 3.10). Based on the 1991 census, Delhi ranks sixth among all States/Union Territories in terms of literacy. The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) in its 53rd Round of Socio-Economic Survey found that literacy in Delhi during 1997 was 85% compared to the national literacy level of 62%. According to this survey, the male literacy rate in Delhi during 1997 was 91% and the female rate was 76%, compared to the national literacy rates of 73% for males and 50% for females. Comparative literacy levels for the States and India from 1991 to 1997 are given in table 3.11.
VITAL RATES
9.
According to the Civil Registration System, birth and death rates (per thousand population) have been declining in Delhi since 1991. The birth rate of 28.52 per 1000 recorded in 1991 declined to 24.56 per 1000 in 1997. The death rate declined from 6.35 per 1000 in 1991 to 6.05 per 1000 in 1997. Based on birth and death rates, the natural growth in Delhi’s population has declined from 2.21% in 1991 to 1.85% in 1997. The infant mortality rate declined from 32.96 per 1000 live births in 1992 to 25.95 in 1997. Birth, death and infant mortality rates in Delhi from 1991 to 1997 are given in table 3.12.
MIGRATION
10.
The estimates of migration into Delhi are based on birth and death rates and total increase in population. The estimates reveal that migration has been steadily increasing since 1991 and is now more than one-and-a-half times the natural growth in population (1:1.55) in 1997. In absolute terms, the natural increase in population during 1991 was 2.11 lakh compared to migration of 1.78 lakh. However, the natural increase reached 2.18 lakh in 1997 whereas migration was estimated at 3.37 lakh. Estimates of migration to Delhi from 1991 to 1997 are given in table 3.13.

A sample study by the Planning Department revealed that out
of total registrants on employment exchanges in Delhi in 1992,
21.5% were migrants from Uttar Pradesh, 9.0% from Haryana, 2.3%
from Punjab, 2.7% from Rajasthan and 7.2% from Other
States.
RURAL-URBAN
RATIO
12.
The rural population, which was 47.24% of Delhi’s
population in 1901 continued to decline to 7.27% in 1981, but
increased to 10.07% in 1991. This reversal of the long term trend
during 1981-1991 was due to mushrooming of unauthorised colonies
in rural areas. Details are in table
3.14.
