Abstract	This study examines the growth and changes in population and sex ratio in Munger District, Bihar, using Census data from 2001 and 2011. The analysis focuses on variations in total population, male & female composition, decadal growth rate, and overall sex ratio. Results show that the district experienced moderate population growth during the decade, although the pace of increase has started to slow, indicating a gradual demographic transition. The overall sex ratio exhibited slight improvement, suggesting marginal progress toward gender balance, whereas the child sex ratio showed fluctuations that reflect ongoing socio-cultural preferences and differential care practices. Changes in literacy levels, urbanisation, and migration patterns also influenced demographic outcomes. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions in maternal and child health, women’s education, and gender sensitisation to promote balanced demographic development in Munger District. Findings provide useful insights for regional planning and policy formulation.
