Former Map of Nepal

It has not been long since the new Map of Nepal was published, and it was when the Council of Ministers of Nepal announced the new map on 20 May 2020. Places like Kalapani, Lipulekh, and Limpiyadhura, which were originally part of Nepal but not available on the map, were again included in the map. The featured (on top) image of the map of Nepal demonstrates the new map of Nepal. 

The former map of Nepal is presented below;

Map image of Nepal based on the Province

As mentioned in the table earlier, there are seven provinces in Nepal, and each province has different districts in it. There are 7 provinces categorized under different names; 

Let us explore the districts of each province separately and based on the National Population and Housing Census 2021. For each district of each province, the population size and distribution, the Marital Status, Disability, and Birth Registration is figured out, where the Population Size and Distribution will be calculated separately for all 77 districts using the formula. Meanwhile, the Marital Status, Disability, and Birth Registration is calculated on the basis of the total census taken of each group of population, and the total population available in the district. For instance,

Marital Status

The marital status of any particular district is calculated in terms of never married, married, widow, and divorced, and the percentage is calculated in relevance to the overall available population. This calculation is done in terms of calculations and portrayed in the graph.

Disability

The Disability of any particular district is calculated with relevance to the overall population and multiplied by a hundred. The graph of the total percentage of Disabled people in terms of male, female, and total population is presented in the graph, for all the districts.

Birth Registration

There are some newborns and young population who have not registered their birth due to certain reasons and for each province, the number and graph are presented below.

Now, for each District of each Province;

Koshi Province

This means that there are 98.12 males per every 100 females, making the female population higher in the district.

Population Density = Number of People/land area =157923/1507 =104.8

Population Density provides people with an idea on how crowded the area is and having approximately 105 Persons per sq km means that there are 105 people living in each square kilometer of the measured land.

The annual Population Growth rate is calculated by taking the current population size subtracting the previous population size and then multiplying the result value by 100.
