Abstract

Growth of population in any region is a function of fertility, mortality and migration processes. It is a total number of persons inhabiting a region. Overpopulation, under-population and optimum population in any region is directly linked with the resource balance of a region that includes the available resource use, development, depletion, waste and degradation etc. Thus the studies on population growth of a region appears to be significant in order to make decisions to maintain a healthy balance between man and resources. Geographically the Karnataka state forms a part of the table land of Deccan plateau of peninsular India. Karnataka state with a population of 6,10,95,297 (2011) retains 9th rank in India’s population of 1,21,05,69,573 (2011), and has been experienced fluctuations in its growth trend. It is in view of these growth fluctuations the researchers have made an attempt to analyse the population growth trend in Karnataka. However, the analysis in this paper is a compilation of available information.
