Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa, which recorded a low
positive growth in number of children during the decade 1991-2001, have
shown a decline in the number of children in the subsequent decade 2001-2011
over 1991-2001.
It may be noted that in 2001-2011, the States like Bihar, Jharkhand and
Chhattisgarh have shown a lower positive growth compared to the earlier
decade of 1991-2001. It may perhaps be reasonable to expect that if these States
also follow a pattern similar to that of the other EAG States, it may eventually
result in a further fall in the overall population growth for these States also.
Between 2001 and 2011, the share of children in the EAG States has increased
by about 1.3 percent. In 2001, 31.9 percent of the children were from the EAG
States, while this percentage is 33.2 in 2011. Figure 13 depicts the share of
children in the EAG States and the non-EAG States and Union Territories in
2001 and 2011.

narrowing down. However, fertility decline may or may not be uniform across
of human development. We shall be discussing this aspect in detail in the next
Chapter.
