Delhi
is a very cosmopolitan city due to the multi-ethnic
and multi-cultural presence of the vast Indian
bureaucracy and political system, and now
expanding economy. There are more than 160
embassies and an ever-growing expatriate population.
In 2003, the National Capital Territory of
Delhi had a population of 14.1 million people
making it the second largest metropolitan
area in India after Mumbai
|
This figure includes
about 295,000 people living in New Delhi and
125,000 in Delhi Cantonment. There are 821
women per 1000 men; the literacy rate is 81.67%
and approximately 91% of the population is
urban. Delhi is the most densely populated
state in India with 9294 persons per km².
In 1999, Delhi recorded a birth rate, death
rate and infant mortality rate (per 1000 population)
of 22.15, 6.06 and 23.18 respectively.
According to the Economic Survey of Delhi
held in 2001, 2.6 million people were living
in slum designated areas across Delhi while
1.7 million and 3.3 million were living in
regularised and planned colonies respectively.
Hinduism is practised by 82% of Delhi's population.
There are also large, vibrant communities
of Muslims (11.7%), Sikhs (4.0%), Jains (1.1%)
and Christians (0.9%). Other minorities include
Buddhists and Jews. Hindi is the principal
spoken and written language. Other commonly
spoken languages are English, Punjabi and
Urdu (English being an associate official
language, and Punjabi and Urdu being second
official languages). Since Delhi is the capital,
linguistic groups from all over India are
well represented including Tamil, Kannada,
Telugu, Bengali, Marathi and many others.
Delhi has one of the highest living standards
in India with a per capita income of (at current
prices for the year 2000-2001) 38864 INR |
Due to relatively high employment opportunities
and better living conditions, Delhi has attracted
millions of people from rural areas in neighbouring
Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. As a
consequence, Delhi's demographics has changed
drastically in the past few years. In 1999, the
population of Delhi increased by 259,000 due to
migration whereas the natural increase in population
was 209,000. Punjabis, Gujjars and Jats are large
ethnic communities, however a collage of peoples
from almost every Indian state inhabits the city.
According to the United Nations, by 2015, Delhi
will be the 3rd largest agglomeration in the world
after Tokyo and Mumbai, with an estimated population
of 20.1 million people.
