What could be the reasons for uneven distribution of population in India?

Answer»
  • Topography, favourable climate, fertility of soils, availability of fresh water, minerals are major geographical factors affecting population density of a region.
  • People prefer to live on plains more than mountains or plateaus and they live more in moderate climates than extreme hot or cold. From the agriculture point of view, fertile lands are preferred.
  • Areas with mineral deposits are more populated.
  • Some social factors that boost the density of population in a region are better housing, education and health facilities.
  • Places with cultural or historical significances are usually populated.
  • Employment opportunities is another attraction for large chunks of the population.
