Decadal population growth and population projection calculated with the help of secondary data. Population growth hot spots were identified, extracted and integrated within GIS framework. The highest decadal population growth rate recorded is 28.32 per cent and lowest population growth rate recorded 14.75 per cent in the decade 1981-1991 and 2001-2011 respectively. The projected rise in Man river basin population to 13.28 lakh in 2050 represents an increase of 4.22 lakh over the 2011 population of 9.06 lakh.
