India Districts with Lowest Child Population - Top 10
A glimpse into India's districts with the lowest child populations reveals a concentration in the remote, picturesque, and often rugged terrains. Dominating the list is Arunachal Pradesh, with its districts like Dibang Valley, Anjaw, Upper Siang, and Tawang, suggesting a sparse young populace set against the state's sprawling natural beauty.
The cold deserts of Himachal Pradesh's Lahul & Spiti, with their challenging climate and topography, also feature on the list. The union territory of Andaman & Nicobar Islands makes its mark with the Nicobars, indicating the islands' seclusion might be a factor in the low child count.
Mahe from Puducherry and Yanam, despite their coastal allure, and North District of the Himalayan state of Sikkim, also find a place. Diu from Daman & Diu concludes the list, echoing the trend of India's small and remote regions having fewer children.
Interestingly, the gender disparity, which was pronounced in districts with the highest child populations, is somewhat muted here, with a more balanced boy-girl ratio, especially in places like Lahul & Spiti and Anjaw.
