Populatoin and demographic data: A profile of India’s publication programme

Before solutions to population problems can be formulated and implemented, planners and policy-makers must have access to population information and database analysis. In the Asian and Pacific region, India has long been active in providing such data and information through various publications. From 1872 until 1941, data relating to population were printed in a separate volume for each of India’s States or provinces and princely States etc. Each of the volumes was preceeded by an analytical report. Thus, there were generally two volumes on a particular State or province, giving complete information pertaining to the population census. In addition, a number of volumes were also published relating to ancillary studies which have traditionally been a part of India’s population censuses.

Latitudinal profile in India of Sq(H) range and of its prominent periodicities

Using quiet-day data of six magnetic observatories in India, with locations between the dip-equator and the region of the Sq focus, latitudinal profiles of range in Sq(H) and of the amplitudes of its solar-cycle, annual and semi-annual periodicities are obtained. For range in Sq(H) and its solarcycle variation equatorial enhancement has the same value of 2.4. For the semi-annual variation the amplitude has an enhancement factor of 4.0, while the annual variation shows practically no equatorial enhancement. A cause of the predominance of the semi-annual cycle in Sq(H) range in the vicinity of the dip-equator could be the semi-annually varying effect on σ2 of field-aligned currents arising from seasonally dependent asymmetry in the northern and southern Sq-current vortices.
