GEOGRAPHICAL ASPECTS/FACTORS
ON RURAL POPULATION
DISTRIBUTION: - A CASE STUDY OF
MALEGAON TAHSIL
1. To Study the population distribution of
Malegaon Tahsil.
2. To analyze the effects of economic,
social & geographical factors on population
distribution.
3. To study the growth of population in the
study area.
The Minor Research Project on Effect of
Social, Economical & Geographical
Aspects/Factors on Rural Population
Distribution: - A Case Study of Malegaon
Tahsil has enabled the researcher to reflect
on the overall scenario of the Rural
Population and the effects of Social,
Economical & Geographical factors on it.
The study has been successful in finding
effects on Rural population. Further
suggestions are made to overcome the
problem.
* Population is the important factor for the
development of the society.
* Skill based education must be provided
for increasing employment opportunities
and self-employment opportunities.
* Encouragement for women education is
required for increasing the social standard
of women.
* Basic services must be provided to the
rural areas for the development.
* Industrial Training Institutes must be
developed in every region of the study area.

SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS : (IN 500 WORDS)
* Local skills should be identified and
encouraged where ever possible.
* Encouragement should be given for the
processed products from forest material in
the specific region.
* New experiments and local participation
is to be adopted for the conservation of the
forest and awareness about it.
* People must be Encouragement for
Community or Group Farming
The present study was undertaken to study
the effect of Social, Economical &
Geographical Aspects/Factors on Rural
Population Distribution in the Malegaon
Tahsil. 9 Divisions of the Malegaon Tahsil
were selected for the study. 225 families
were selected from the divisions for the
investigation. Questionnaire was prepared
and information was collected from
questionnaire along with semi-structured
interviews. Secondary sources were also
used wherever applicable. The findings of
the study are:
1. Geographical habitat: - Habitat of
population changes as per the change in
geographical structure. Study area can
be geographically divided as GirnaMosam basin, katwan and magmata.
Among these regions Girna-mosam
basin regions have plain region and
develop lands where distribution of
population is more as irrigation facility
available. In contrast to that in katwan
and malmatha region Low population
distribution is observed. In other regions
where mountainous regions, subsahyadri mountainous ranges farming is
practiced very low distribution of
population is observed.
2. Types of houses: - In rural part of study
area earthen houses are observed which
built by using rocks, soil, wood etc. Few
below poverty line families take the
benefit of government facilities so they
get shifted from earthen houses to
houses built by cement and sheets.
3. Size of family: - In study area by
considering the size of family we get the
information that 49% of families have 0
to 5 members, 31% of families have 6 to
10 members and 20 % of families have
more than 10 members.
4. Main Occupation: - Highest number of
people engaged in agriculture and allied
occupation In Girna-Mosam river basin
region mostly cash crops and
horticulture is practiced whereas in
Katwan and Malmatha region maximum
dry farming is practiced due to scarcity
of water. By these causes distribution of
population is not same.
5. Land holding: - In study area 64%
population among the total population
hold the lands. Among these 46% of the
land holders are small land holders and
marginal farmers. Due to small patches
of land farmers face limitations for
modern methods of agriculture. Where
there is the use of more land available
and irrigation facilities are available
modern methods of agriculture could be
used. The income of farmers increased
due to horticulture and irrigated
farming.
6. Main crops: - In study area mixed
farming is observed with food grains,
cotton, horticulture, and sugar cane and
onion crops. Cropping pattern changes
as per the texture of soil, amount of
rainfall, climate etc.
7. Income Status:- Among the total
population 40% of families are below
poverty line, there income is very low.
Mainly tribal, landless, land labors,
unskilled labours and small card holders
are observed in this group. 15% families
in the study area comes under high
income group, they possesses same
earning sources, business and lave land
holiday. In this way 45% families are
inclined waddle income groups. Their
incomes are also moderate.
8. Health facilities:- Primary health centre
to multi-specialty hospital facilities are
available in the study area. High
standard and super specialty facilities
are observed mainly in urban area. In
rural area secondary standard health
facilities available. In all health facilities
are business attitude. In Government
hospitals various problems are observed
like non availability of medical officer,
lack of service attitude in health
workers, problems of medicines, and
unavailability of
modern health
equipments. This problem leads the
people to private health centers. Among
the total population of study area, 45%
of population take medical facilities
from private sector, 39% of population
take Government health services. 12%
of population takes home made selfmedicines. In this era of science some
places also in dark edges of
superstitious.
9. Age structure:- In study area out of the
total population 57% of population is
working and 43% of population is nonworking group. The children in the age
group of 0 to 6 years are 14% and 14

years school age group are 18%.
Dependent senior citizens percentage is
10%, and then percentage is increasing
due to inverse in life expectancy.
Number of working age group is higher
them the country`s average. This age
group is contributing in the economic
progress of the study area.
10. Sex ratio:- In the study area among the
total population 54% are male and 46%
are female. In the developed region
among study area no. of females are less
than that of male numbers. But in
Malegaon city and surrounding Muslim
majority region male-female ratio is
nearly equal.
11. Transport
and
communication
services:- Road Transport facilities are
mainly observed in transport services in
the study area. In head quarter of study
area N.H. no. 3 is connected also other
rural settlements are connected with
mantled roads to the main city. Mobile,
computer, Television, Radio these
medium are also in used in study area.
In these days shepherds are also
communicate within themselves hay
using mobiles. Communication by
mobile has increased tremendously in
the study area.
The regional imbalance is observed in the
study area. The population residing in
rural areas is illiterate. Most of the rural
population is from low income groups
because of less number of resources
available to them. Their standard of living,
health standard, employment opportunities,
skills and education are low.
Their
productivity is below average.
To
overcome these problems the case study
has been conducted. The study focuses on
the factors responsible for the regional
imbalance in the study area. It will try to
help the society as well as government to
overcome the problem.
