India Districts with Largest Child Population - Top 10
Thane, situated in Maharashtra, leads the chart as the district with the most significant child population in India, followed closely by Pune from the same state. Maharashtra's prominence in this list is reaffirmed with the inclusion of Mumbai Suburban, underscoring the state's burgeoning young population.
While Karnataka's tech hub, Bangalore, also finds a place, West Bengal and Bihar highlight the demographic realities of East India with districts like South Twenty Four Parganas, Purba Champaran, Murshidabad, and North Twenty Four Parganas prominently featuring. Bihar's capital, Patna, too, showcases a sizeable younger generation.
The listing ends with Jaipur from Rajasthan, blending the old with the new, as this historic city demonstrates its demographic youthfulness.
Interestingly, the data also points towards a noticeable trend - a gender gap with boys outnumbering girls in every district. This underlines the persisting challenge of achieving gender equilibrium, even in the younger cohorts, possibly hinting at deep-rooted societal biases. The data suggests that while India is young, it needs to address the skew in its gender ratio urgently.
