भारत की बदलती जनसंरचना। India’s Demography Decoded ft. Shivakumar Jolad

क्या आपको पता है कि विश्व युद्ध और भारत के बंटवारे के बाद भी दशकीय जनगणना समय पर की गयी थी, जब की हालिया दशकीय जनगणना करने में देरी हो चुकी है। इससे शासन प्रणाली पर काफ़ी असर पड़ेगा क्योंकि हर एक जिल्ले में कितनी सरकारी सुविधा प्रदान की जाये ये जनगणना के हिसाब से निश्चित किया जाता है। जनगणना और जनसंरचना याने कि डेमोग्राफी एक दिलचस्प विषय है जिसको गहराई से समझाने के लिए हमारे साथ पुलियाबाज़ी पर जुड़े प्रोफ़ेसर शिवकुमार जोलद। सुनिए इस पुलियाबाज़ी को और समझिये भारत की बदलती जनसंरचना के बारे में।
