Dr. B. Renganathan, Mrs. M. Kalaiarasi
Abstract :
Ruralisation is the process of growth with respect to the area and population. Rural areas are the geographical
regions which are located out of the town or cities. The average rural populations in 2001 are observed as 176000
and in 2011 as 175000.It shows the decreasing nature of rural population in TAMILNADU State. Similarly the rural population in India 2001
is 102.9 crores and 121crores in 2011. It shows the growth of the rural population in India. Thus the growth of the rural population in India
as well as in TAMILNADU motivates to carry out the statistical study on ruralisation in TAMILNADU state. Statistical models such as exponential, q-exponential, truncated exponential and lognormal models are applied to study the nature of the rural taluk size distribution of
population using 2001 and 2011 population census data of TAMILNADU state. The suitability of these four models is to be tested empirically
using statistical test. Lognormal model is the more appropriate model than the other models for the taluk rural size population data
