On the other hand, educational development affects population trends through promotion of increased acceptance of family planning measures by the adults, and delay in age at marriage. The analysis of population growth is an important element to the understanding the level of educational development in Himachal Pradesh. The present study attempts to study the Population growth and educational development in Himachal Pradesh. The study is mainly based on the secondary data collected from Directorate of Census Operations and directorate of education Himachal Pradesh.
