What were the causes of uneven population in India? [CBSE 2016]
The population of India is unevenly distributed in India because of the following reasons: (a) Relief of the land: Where there are mountains and rugged relief the population is sparse. Flat and fertile land favours the population density. (b) Climate: Less people live in cold climate, in very hot climate and where it is dry. More people live in areas where the climate is favourable. (c) In regions where the industrial development is more the population is dense as occupations are more. Moreover, the transport facilities also favour the growth of population.
