J&Ks population growth continues to slow: SRS Bulletin
Srinagar, May 21:The latest Sample Registration System (SRS) Bulletin released by the Registrar General of India on May 20 has recorded a natural growth rate of 9.2 per 1000 population in J&K for 2024. This is lower than the national average of 11.9. The figures indicate that J&K is steadily moving towards slower population growth, demonstrating declining birth rates and also relatively low mortality rate. The SRS Bulletin has calculated J&Ks birth rate at 14.6 per 1000 population in 2024, significantly lower than Indias average of 18.3. The death rate in J&K has been calculated as 5.5, also lower than the national figure of 6.4. This yields the natural growth rate of 9.2. Growth rate is calculated as the difference between birth and death rates, and remains moderate in J&K compared to many northern states. Compared to larger states and UTs, J&Ks natural growth rate is significantly lower than Bihar (20.8), Uttar Pradesh (17.2), Rajasthan (17.0), and Madhya Pradesh (15.8). However, it is significantly higher than Kerala (3.9), Tamil Nadu (4.8), and Punjab (6.5), states of India that are further ahead in demographic transition graph. There is a stark difference between the growth rate of J&Ks urban and rural areas. While the rural J&K recorded a higher natural growth rate of 10.3, the urban areas stood at 6.7, comparable to the slowest growing states of India. This points towards sharper demographic transition in towns and cities. Among bigger states and UTs, the growth rate of 6.7 of urban J&K is the fifth lowest in India. Only Kerala, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Odidha recorded lower urban natural growth rate. J&K is among better-performing states and UTs in infant mortality indicators, as per the bulletin. The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) stood at 14 deaths per 1000 live births in 2024, much lower than the national average of 24. While urban J&K recorded an IMR of 12, the rural areas fared poorer with IMR of 15. Overall the decline in IMR reflects J&Ks improved maternal and child healthcare outcomes. Demographers are of the opinion that the declining birth rate and moderating population growth have long-term social and economic implications. The slower growth reduces pressure on land, urban infrastructure, public services and employment scenario. This is significant for a place like J&K that is already constrained by geography and limited industrial expansion. At the same time, experts also caution that sustained fertility decline eventually alters population age profile. The increasing share of elderly population and shrinking the proportion of young working-age groups over time is an outcome of declined growth rate that needs long-term policy planning. The rural-urban gap in birth rates also exemplifies the changing lifestyles, higher education levels, delayed marriages in J&K. It also shows greater access to healthcare and family planning services in urban areas. While rural J&K continues to record higher fertility and growth levels than urban areas, it matches broader national trends. The SRS Bulletin is one of Indias most important demographic datasets. It forms the basis for estimating fertility, mortality and population trends between censuses. It is based on continuous field surveys and sample-based demographic tracking, in all states and Union Territories.

South India, now, needs to be on an extra-active radar of RSS & BJP!
This scenario needs a major strategic planning within the BJP-RSS for the future course of time, so that things move positively in favour of the BJP and the RSS ideology ASHWANI KUMAR CHRUNGOO FRAGRANCE OF IDEAS Consequent upon the declaration of the results of the five state elections in eastern and southern parts of India recently, it has becomecustomary to analyse the overall political scenario of the southern region, especially the two states, namelyTamil Nadu and Kerala. This is particularly so because these two states have given contrasting results as compared to the results of the two eastern states, i.e. Assam and West Bengal. While Assam and West Bengal gave sweeping results in favour of the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP), the two states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu have a story altogether different from the other two states. The results of the Union Territory of Puducherry have maintained the status quo and need no special mention here in this write-up. The southern states, excepting Karnataka and to some extent Telangana, have a lukewarm history of the BJPs presence. There is no doubt that the RSS started its activity in the southern region well before the partition of the country, but it gained momentum only in the 1960s and 1970s. Yadav Rao Joshi was a prominent senior RSS activist-pracharak who infused new blood in the organisational structure of RSS in the southern states. His headquarters was in Bangalore from the very inception, so Karnataka got an edge so far as the organisational expansion was concerned. On the basis of the strength of the RSS organisation in Karnataka, Joshi planned the expansion of the organisation in other southern states as well. In the 1960s and 1970s, most of the southern states were deeply influenced by the South film industry mania, Dravidian politics, left-oriented ideological leanings and also by the language and regional priorities. Congress had started losing ground in the entire southern region slowly and steadily, and the regional forces and the left parties filled up the vacuum created by the Congresss absenteeism. This kind of situation had deeply impacted the socio-political scenario of the entire southern region. It was in this kind of an adverse atmosphere that RSS, under the stewardship of Joshi, made attempts to extend its arms in the southern states. There is no doubt in the fact that Karnataka proved to be a better fertile ground as compared to the other states in the southern region. Joshi was joined by another senior RSS pracharak, H.V.Sheshadri (who later became the Secretary General of RSS), and they, along with the other scores of pracharaks and dedicated activists, created a great edifice for RSS to grow at a rapid speed in the Karnataka state. The strength gained by RSS helped the Bhartiya Jan Sangh (BJS) initially and later the BJP to take their roots deep down the earth. This created the BJP as a force to be reckoned with in the state of Karnataka in the 1980s and 1990s, and it made the BJP the main political pillar of the state politics eventually. Technically speaking, it was Jagan Nath Rao Joshi, a senior BJS-BJP leader, who planned the BJPs expansion in the southern states with great success. However, this sort of privilege, as in Karnataka, couldnt be achieved or enjoyed by the RSS and BJP in the other states. Due to the immense work done by the thousands of activists of the two organisations in these states and also the sacrifices made by the hundreds of activists, especially in the state of Kerala, the RSS and BJP made moderate inroads in the society therein. Slowly and steadily, both these organisations started to make major inroads in the 1990s, but these inroads couldnt make the BJP the main political force in any state other than Karnataka. Over the years from the 1990s to 2010s, the BJP was able to emerge as a big political force in the states of Telangana, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Pudduchery and Tamil Nadu. In Telangana, the BJP took the position of a major political quarter in the state, and has been able to catch votes to the tune of around 35% in the state. In Kerala also, the party has achieved 10% plus votes consistently for the last twenty years now. Even in the state of Tamil Nadu, the BJP was able to get 11% votes in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. In Andhra Pradesh, it is in a formidable coalition with the TDP and the Janasena Party of Pawan Kalyan and is in a comfortable political position in the given situation. The way the election results came forth in Kerala and Tamil Nadu this time, it should bring all key figures in the BJP and RSS in the southern region to the main round-table to chalk out a plan to make sure that the BJP emerges as a bigger political force in the next round of elections. RSSs role is the master key in this whole arrangement. It can make the socio-cultural ground in these states more fertile by its groundwork so that the ideology and appeal of the BJP is welcome, particularly in two social groups, i.e. youth & women. These should be hence the target areas for both the RSS and the BJP. There is a visible impact of the BJPs immense victory and performances post 2024 Lok Sabha elections on the minds and intellect of the people of the country, in general and the youth in particular. For some years now, the participation of women in the political and electoral processes has increased in a profound manner, thanks to various welfare schemes of the government of India, especially designed for women and the youth. People in general, in the current socio-political scenario, recognise the fact with a welcome note that the BJP is now having power in most of the states of India, besides having it also at the centre. More than 70% of the population and area of the nation comes under
