Andaman and Nicobar Islands Population History
The Andaman and Nicobar islands are the home to underwater adventure activities and tourism, in India. The Islands like Bartang which has mud volcanoes or the Havelock Island coupled with the snorkeling opportunities with underwater fauna, equals a great holiday destination. The water locked plains of Andaman and Nicobar bear a population of less than 4 lacs, which makes it 4th least populated region in all of India. The population of the islands has a very little growth rate of just over 6. And that's why it's the 2nd region with least positive growth rate. Of course, a onetime data can only tell us as much. But, when we compare it to the previous census of 2001, we can see a major reduction in Andaman and Nicobar's population growth, which was over 20% earlier.
But, when it comes to the 7 union territories, Andaman and Nicobar's expanse measured together beats all others. The islands have the greatest area of more than 8000, among the union governed regions. Population density of a region is also an important criterion to be considered in a census. With only around 40 people living in every square kilometer, it's the union territory having least population density, as shown by the Andaman and Nicobar census 2011.
The comparison of the two consecutive population counts also shows a positive increase in the islands' literacy level. Although, more than 50% of the population lives in villages, the development of both urban and rural areas seems to be on the same path. Gender ratios as well as the literacy levels in cities and villages are comparable. The population growth rate however, differs to a great extent, but not as much as other union territories. Capital city of the island is port Blair. Both English and Hindi are widely spoken and taught here.
