State and explain the factors affecting the distribution of population in India
Answered by admin @
The main factors determining population distribution are : climate, landforms, topography, soil, energy
and mineral resources, accessibility like distance from sea coast, natural harbours, navigable rivers or
canals, cultural factors, political boundaries, controls on migration and trade, government policies, types
of economic activities, technology including type of farming and transportation facilities, social
organization and but not the least, demographic factors like changes in natural increase and migration.
Adverse physical conditions and lack of sufficient opportunities for means of livelihood have been
mainly responsible for discouraging inhabitation in certain areas. Climatic conditions are perhaps the
most important of all the geographic influences on population distribution. Apart from physical factors
several social, demographic, economic, political and historical factors affect population distribution.
