North versus South: Who's having more babies in India?
On June 9, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said that the government will introduce financial incentives to counter declining fertility rates in the state. This is not the first time Indian leaders have encouraged people to have more children. In March 2025, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin urged couples to have children promptly to protect the state's representation in Parliament. In March, another Andhra Pradesh MP announced incentives for families having a third child, offering Rs 50,000 for a girl child and a cow for a why? A new census is in the works. And some states' leaders are worried that a lower population may result in decreased representation in Parliament following a delimitation exercise. Is this concern justified? India Today's Data Intelligence Unit examined the latest Vital Statistics of India, based on the 2022 Civil Registration System report and found that population growth has slowed down in southern states like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Andhra to the report, India recorded around 2.5 crore births in 2022. Uttar Pradesh had the highest number of registered births at 54.4 lakh, followed by Bihar with 30.7 lakh, and Maharashtra with 19.2 lakh. Other northern states like Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh also reported high birth registrations. In contrast, southern states registered comparatively fewer births: Tamil Nadu reported 9.4 lakh, Karnataka 10.4 lakh, Andhra Pradesh 7.5 lakh, Telangana 7 lakh, and Kerala only 4.4 lakh births in this a trend?advertisementWe analysed state-wise birth registration data from 2013 to 2022. Based on 2022 figures, states have been grouped into three categories: those with over 15 lakh registrations, those with 7–15 lakh, and those under 4–7 first category includes Uttar Pradesh, which recorded a near 40 per cent growth since 2013. Bihar also saw a sharp rise from 16 lakh in 2013, nearly doubling in the decade. Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh showed gradual growth, while Maharashtra remained relatively stable with minor fluctuations. These states, mostly from the north and central regions, have maintained high fertility three southern states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh fell in the second category, along with Gujarat, Assam, and West Bengal. In 2013, Karnataka recorded 10.4 lakh births, which increased to 11 lakh by 2017 but then declined back to 10.4 lakh by Nadu saw a downward trend, where birth registrations dropped from 11.9 lakh in 2013 to 9.4 lakh in 2022. Andhra Pradesh experienced fluctuations as well, with 7.2 lakh births registered in 2013 and a modest rise to 7.5 lakh by final group comprises states like Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Kerala, and Punjab. Kerala's numbers dropped steadily from 5.4 lakh in 2013 to 4.4 lakh in 2022. Punjab followed a similar decline from 4.5 lakh to 4 lakh in that decade. Chhattisgarh and Haryana saw some ups and downs, but no significant ratioadvertisementUnfortunately, many of these states with large birth registrations continue to struggle with poor gender balance. Bihar, despite its high birth numbers, records one of the lowest sex ratios in the country at 891 females per thousand males. The skewed ratio has been worsening for three consecutive years — dropping from 964 in 2020 to 908 in 2021, and further down to 891 in 2022. Similarly, Maharashtra has a sex ratio of 906, Telangana 907, Gujarat 908, and Haryana the other hand, Nagaland at 1068 has the highest sex ratio in India. Other northeastern states also fared well, like Arunachal Pradesh at 1036 and Meghalaya at 972. States like Kerala and Chhattisgarh, known for better social indicators, also maintained a more balanced gender ratio alongside moderate birth several states lack sufficient data to conduct a meaningful analysis of the sex ratio at birth. For instance, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh have data available only for two years: 2021 and 2022. Similarly, Bihar and Jharkhand provide figures for only three years, starting from states also display abnormal fluctuations. For example, in Manipur, the sex ratio in 2018 was just 757, which jumped to 934 in 2019, dropped again to 880 in 2020, rose sharply by 94 points in 2021, and then declined once more in 2022. A similar irregular pattern is observed in Ladakh, where the ratio was unusually high — 1104 in 2020 — and fell to 949 in 2021, before rising by 78 points to reach 1027 in also falls into this category of abnormal trends. In 2017, the sex ratio was 948, which gradually increased to 965 in 2018 and further to 1001 in 2019. However, it declined over the next two years before sharply rising again in 2022 to 1068, the highest among all states that InMust Watch
