This may be due to the fact that the land, here, is costiller than in the rest of the rural areas. Secondly, the rural population working in the urban area might also have been concentrated in these surrounding districts. To find out the pattern of the future distribution of the rural population, only the land-man ratio is to be taken into considerationand not the density of population as related to Lal Doar Area. The rural population lives in villages of different sizes: the pattern of its distribution in 1961 is as follow : TABLE 6.

It began to rise rather sharply, after 1931; in the decade 1941-51, the rural population of Delhi territory jumped by almost 40%. This increase is partly due to an increase in the natural growth rate and partly due to immigration of refugees from west Pakistan. Since there is only small scope in the agricultural base of the state to support this growth of population, it may be presumed that a portion of the rural population makes its livelihood in urban Delhi. Taking the rural tract alone, the population trends for three decades, in the different Rural District are presented in the table below:-
