"Geographical analysis of population projection in development block-Dostpur (District-Sultanpur)"

Abstract

The period between the two census is estimated by scholars who are supportive of demography. In many areas of the world, where census cannot be done, population information is done on the basis of projection. Sometimes it happens that some part of the country gets disturbed due to some reason or census cannot be done due to security reasons, then in such a situation the population is obtained on the basis of population projection. Sometimes there are some figures of the population, which are needed only in the medium term. Projection of this type of data is also done on the basis of previous population. In case of lost, destroyed or stolen census data, the population is obtained on the basis of projected population. Population projection is essential for future policy planning. Prof. Hazanal (1971) says, "No matter how many shortcomings are in the projection, neither is it better to have some data or not." But we can compare our situation with that of a hunter who only consults a magician before going hunting in the unknown forest.
