Abstract

Due to the variations in climatic conditions, geographical settings, agro-ecological zones, socio- economic and cultural setups even at micro level, it is very essential to know spatial and temporal variation in sex ratio at micro level. The study region has three distinctive geomorphological landform i. e., alluvial plain, aeolian plain and flood plain of Ghaggar river. Therefore, in the present study an attempt has been made to map and analyse the spatial and temporal variation in sex ratio at block level in Sirsa district of Haryana for the census years 2001 and 2011. Data was processed in excel software and put into GIS environment for generating choropleth maps of the study area. This study reveals that during the last decade the study area has added 15 more females per 1000 males. The sex ratio of Sirsa district was 883 and 898 females per 1000 males for the census years 2001 and 2011 respectively. The child sex ratio(0-6) of Sirsa district was 817 and 869 femalechild per 1000 males for the census years 2001 and 2011 respectively The decadal growth of general sex ratio and child sex ratio in terms of percentage ranges from less than half percent to 4.00 % and 0.93 % to 9.58 % respectively.
