Question

Which factors affect the distribution of population of India?

Answer 1

1. In India, population is very unevenly distributed. Physiography and climate play an important role in the distribution of population.
2. Due to the fertile land, plain land, and availability of water, human settlements have been established in these parts for many centuries.
3. In farming, industries, and trade, the proportion of the population got concentrated in few places. e.g., the northern plains of the country, such as Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, etc.
4. On the contrary, in mountainous, hilly regions, dry desert areas, and dense forest areas, density is sparse because of inaccessibility, absence of facilities, and tough life.
