Tribal dominated districts have turned the theory of bias for male offspring on its head, while literacy levels have registered a surprisingly high growth, perhaps signalling a marginal improvement in the overall social structure of a largely underdeveloped state held hostage to political instability and Left wing extremism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to provisional data of Census 2011 for Jharkhand, released by director of census operations Sunil Kumar Burnwal today, tribal dominated districts like West Singhbhum, Simdega, Khunti, Gumla and Lohardaga boast a better sex ratio than others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While West Singhbhum leads the tally with an impressive ratio of 1,004 females per 1,000 males, the figure is 1,000 in Simdega, 994 in Khunti, 993 in Gumla and 985 in Lohardaga. The overall sex ratio in Jharkhand, however, is only 947, marginally better than the 2001 figure of 941 and higher than the national average of 940. &amp;ldquo;The figures suggest that the girl child is not unwelcome in tribal society,&amp;rdquo; Burnwal said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the other end of the spectrum, the worst sex ratio figures were from the coal belt districts of Dhanbad and Bokaro, which notched up 908 and 916 respectively. Deoghar and Ramgarh fared slightly better with 921. Another non-tribal dominated district, Palamau, also registered a poor sex ratio of 929 while Godda and Garhwa stood at 933 each. Giridih and Hazaribagh just managed to be close to the state average of 947 with 943 and 946 respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other population indicators were cause of concern as well. For the age group of 0 to 6 years, the sex ratio was a less-than-average 943, suggesting a bias against the girl child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commenting on the impressive sex ratio in tribal dominated districts, noted development economist Ramesh Sharan said there was no gender discrimination in tribal societies. He added in tribal social structure, girls were considered more important. &amp;ldquo;Moreover, there is no dowry system in tribal societies and the system of bride price is followed,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jharkhand&amp;rsquo;s total population was pegged at 32,966,238 spread over an area of 79,714 square kilometres. The density of population had increased to 414 compared to 338 in 2001.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhanbad with a density of 1,284 topped the list while Sahebganj was a distant second with 719, followed by Bokaro with 716. The tribal dominated districts also scored on the front with Simdega registering a density of 160, Gumla 193, Latehar 200, West Singhbhum 209 and Khunti 215.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, it was with literacy that the state really scored. The literacy rate stood at an impressive 67.63 per cent, a huge jump from 54 per cent in 2001. Male literacy stood at 78.45 per cent, while female literacy rate was 56.21 per cent. Ranchi topped the literacy figure with 77.13 per cent followed by East Singhbhum at 76.13 per cent and Dhanbad at 75.71 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of percentage decadal growth, Koderma topped the list with 32.59 per cent while Latehar registered a population growth of 29.38 per cent in the last decade. Chatra, Giridih, Pakur and Deoghar registered over 28 per cent growth compared to the state average of 22.34 per cent.

The overall sex ratio in Jharkhand, however, is only 947, marginally better than the 2001 figure of 941 and higher than the national average of 940. &ldquo;The figures suggest that the girl child is not unwelcome in tribal society,&rdquo; Burnwal said.<br /><br />At the other end of the spectrum, the worst sex ratio figures were from the coal belt districts of Dhanbad and Bokaro, which notched up 908 and 916 respectively. Deoghar and Ramgarh fared slightly better with 921. Another non-tribal dominated district, Palamau, also registered a poor sex ratio of 929 while Godda and Garhwa stood at 933 each. Giridih and Hazaribagh just managed to be close to the state average of 947 with 943 and 946 respectively.<br /><br />Other population indicators were cause of concern as well. For the age group of 0 to 6 years, the sex ratio was a less-than-average 943, suggesting a bias against the girl child.<br /><br />Commenting on the impressive sex ratio in tribal dominated districts, noted development economist Ramesh Sharan said there was no gender discrimination in tribal societies. He added in tribal social structure, girls were considered more important. &ldquo;Moreover, there is no dowry system in tribal societies and the system of bride price is followed,&rdquo; he said.<br /><br />Jharkhand&rsquo;s total population was pegged at 32,966,238 spread over an area of 79,714 square kilometres. The density of population had increased to 414 compared to 338 in 2001.<br /><br />Dhanbad with a density of 1,284 topped the list while Sahebganj was a distant second with 719, followed by Bokaro with 716. The tribal dominated districts also scored on the front with Simdega registering a density of 160, Gumla 193, Latehar 200, West Singhbhum 209 and Khunti 215.<br /><br />However, it was with literacy that the state really scored. The literacy rate stood at an impressive 67.63 per cent, a huge jump from 54 per cent in 2001. Male literacy stood at 78.45 per cent, while female literacy rate was 56.21 per cent. Ranchi topped the literacy figure with 77.13 per cent followed by East Singhbhum at 76.13 per cent and Dhanbad at 75.71 per cent.<br /><br />In terms of percentage decadal growth, Koderma topped the list with 32.59 per cent while Latehar registered a population growth of 29.38 per cent in the last decade. Chatra, Giridih, Pakur and Deoghar registered over 28 per cent growth compared to the state average of 22.34 per cent.</div>               </font>

Tribal dominated districts have turned the theory of bias for male offspring on its head, while literacy levels have registered a surprisingly high growth, perhaps signalling a marginal improvement in the overall social structure of a largely underdeveloped state held hostage to political instability and Left wing extremism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to provisional data of Census 2011 for Jharkhand, released by director of census operations Sunil Kumar Burnwal today, tribal dominated districts like West Singhbhum, Simdega, Khunti, Gumla and Lohardaga boast a better sex ratio than others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While West Singhbhum leads the tally with an impressive ratio of 1,004 females per 1,000 males, the figure is 1,000 in Simdega, 994 in Khunti, 993 in Gumla and 985 in Lohardaga. The overall sex ratio in Jharkhand, however, is only 947, marginally better than the 2001 figure of 941 and higher than the national average of 940. &amp;ldquo;The figures suggest that the girl child is not unwelcome in tribal society,&amp;rdquo; Burnwal said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the other end of the spectrum, the worst sex ratio figures were from the coal belt districts of Dhanbad and Bokaro, which notched up 908 and 916 respectively. Deoghar and Ramgarh fared slightly better with 921. Another non-tribal dominated district, Palamau, also registered a poor sex ratio of 929 while Godda and Garhwa stood at 933 each. Giridih and Hazaribagh just managed to be close to the state average of 947 with 943 and 946 respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other population indicators were cause of concern as well. For the age group of 0 to 6 years, the sex ratio was a less-than-average 943, suggesting a bias against the girl child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commenting on the impressive sex ratio in tribal dominated districts, noted development economist Ramesh Sharan said there was no gender discrimination in tribal societies. He added in tribal social structure, girls were considered more important. &amp;ldquo;Moreover, there is no dowry system in tribal societies and the system of bride price is followed,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jharkhand&amp;rsquo;s total population was pegged at 32,966,238 spread over an area of 79,714 square kilometres. The density of population had increased to 414 compared to 338 in 2001.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhanbad with a density of 1,284 topped the list while Sahebganj was a distant second with 719, followed by Bokaro with 716. The tribal dominated districts also scored on the front with Simdega registering a density of 160, Gumla 193, Latehar 200, West Singhbhum 209 and Khunti 215.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, it was with literacy that the state really scored. The literacy rate stood at an impressive 67.63 per cent, a huge jump from 54 per cent in 2001. Male literacy stood at 78.45 per cent, while female literacy rate was 56.21 per cent. Ranchi topped the literacy figure with 77.13 per cent followed by East Singhbhum at 76.13 per cent and Dhanbad at 75.71 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of percentage decadal growth, Koderma topped the list with 32.59 per cent while Latehar registered a population growth of 29.38 per cent in the last decade. Chatra, Giridih, Pakur and Deoghar registered over 28 per cent growth compared to the state average of 22.34 per cent.

Tribal dominated districts have turned the theory of bias for male offspring on its head, while literacy levels have registered a surprisingly high growth, perhaps signalling a marginal improvement in the overall social structure of a largely underdeveloped state held hostage to political instability and Left wing extremism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to provisional data of Census 2011 for Jharkhand, released by director of census operations Sunil Kumar Burnwal today, tribal dominated districts like West Singhbhum, Simdega, Khunti, Gumla and Lohardaga boast a better sex ratio than others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While West Singhbhum leads the tally with an impressive ratio of 1,004 females per 1,000 males, the figure is 1,000 in Simdega, 994 in Khunti, 993 in Gumla and 985 in Lohardaga. The overall sex ratio in Jharkhand, however, is only 947, marginally better than the 2001 figure of 941 and higher than the national average of 940. &amp;ldquo;The figures suggest that the girl child is not unwelcome in tribal society,&amp;rdquo; Burnwal said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the other end of the spectrum, the worst sex ratio figures were from the coal belt districts of Dhanbad and Bokaro, which notched up 908 and 916 respectively. Deoghar and Ramgarh fared slightly better with 921. Another non-tribal dominated district, Palamau, also registered a poor sex ratio of 929 while Godda and Garhwa stood at 933 each. Giridih and Hazaribagh just managed to be close to the state average of 947 with 943 and 946 respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other population indicators were cause of concern as well. For the age group of 0 to 6 years, the sex ratio was a less-than-average 943, suggesting a bias against the girl child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commenting on the impressive sex ratio in tribal dominated districts, noted development economist Ramesh Sharan said there was no gender discrimination in tribal societies. He added in tribal social structure, girls were considered more important. &amp;ldquo;Moreover, there is no dowry system in tribal societies and the system of bride price is followed,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jharkhand&amp;rsquo;s total population was pegged at 32,966,238 spread over an area of 79,714 square kilometres. The density of population had increased to 414 compared to 338 in 2001.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhanbad with a density of 1,284 topped the list while Sahebganj was a distant second with 719, followed by Bokaro with 716. The tribal dominated districts also scored on the front with Simdega registering a density of 160, Gumla 193, Latehar 200, West Singhbhum 209 and Khunti 215.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, it was with literacy that the state really scored. The literacy rate stood at an impressive 67.63 per cent, a huge jump from 54 per cent in 2001. Male literacy stood at 78.45 per cent, while female literacy rate was 56.21 per cent. Ranchi topped the literacy figure with 77.13 per cent followed by East Singhbhum at 76.13 per cent and Dhanbad at 75.71 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of percentage decadal growth, Koderma topped the list with 32.59 per cent while Latehar registered a population growth of 29.38 per cent in the last decade. Chatra, Giridih, Pakur and Deoghar registered over 28 per cent growth compared to the state average of 22.34 per cent.

Tribal dominated districts have turned the theory of bias for male offspring on its head, while literacy levels have registered a surprisingly high growth, perhaps signalling a marginal improvement in the overall social structure of a largely underdeveloped state held hostage to political instability and Left wing extremism.<br />
<br />
According to provisional data of Census 2011 for Jharkhand, released by director of census operations Sunil Kumar Burnwal today, tribal dominated districts like West Singhbhum, Simdega, Khunti, Gumla and Lohardaga boast a better sex ratio than others.<br />
<br />
While West Singhbhum leads the tally with an impressive ratio of 1,004 females per 1,000 males, the figure is 1,000 in Simdega, 994 in Khunti, 993 in Gumla and 985 in Lohardaga. The overall sex ratio in Jharkhand, however, is only 947, marginally better than the 2001 figure of 941 and higher than the national average of 940. &ldquo;The figures suggest that the girl child is not unwelcome in tribal society,&rdquo; Burnwal said.<br />
<br />
At the other end of the spectrum, the worst sex ratio figures were from the coal belt districts of Dhanbad and Bokaro, which notched up 908 and 916 respectively. Deoghar and Ramgarh fared slightly better with 921. Another non-tribal dominated district, Palamau, also registered a poor sex ratio of 929 while Godda and Garhwa stood at 933 each. Giridih and Hazaribagh just managed to be close to the state average of 947 with 943 and 946 respectively.<br />
<br />
Other population indicators were cause of concern as well. For the age group of 0 to 6 years, the sex ratio was a less-than-average 943, suggesting a bias against the girl child.<br />
<br />
Commenting on the impressive sex ratio in tribal dominated districts, noted development economist Ramesh Sharan said there was no gender discrimination in tribal societies. He added in tribal social structure, girls were considered more important. &ldquo;Moreover, there is no dowry system in tribal societies and the system of bride price is followed,&rdquo; he said.<br />
<br />
Jharkhand&rsquo;s total population was pegged at 32,966,238 spread over an area of 79,714 square kilometres. The density of population had increased to 414 compared to 338 in 2001.<br />
<br />
Dhanbad with a density of 1,284 topped the list while Sahebganj was a distant second with 719, followed by Bokaro with 716. The tribal dominated districts also scored on the front with Simdega registering a density of 160, Gumla 193, Latehar 200, West Singhbhum 209 and Khunti 215.<br />
<br />
However, it was with literacy that the state really scored. The literacy rate stood at an impressive 67.63 per cent, a huge jump from 54 per cent in 2001. Male literacy stood at 78.45 per cent, while female literacy rate was 56.21 per cent. Ranchi topped the literacy figure with 77.13 per cent followed by East Singhbhum at 76.13 per cent and Dhanbad at 75.71 per cent.<br />
<br />
In terms of percentage decadal growth, Koderma topped the list with 32.59 per cent while Latehar registered a population growth of 29.38 per cent in the last decade. Chatra, Giridih, Pakur and Deoghar registered over 28 per cent growth compared to the state average of 22.34 per cent.
