For planning and design of any service delivery system or infrastructure, it is essential to decide the period or year upto which the proposed development will and can remain structurally and materially safe and will be able to meet the level of requirement of service. Expansion of towns into cities, urbanisation and demand for various utilities in cities have been so rapid and mind blowing that future planning for a very long period of service have often proved to be useless. So, a rational design period is to be decided after completion of which the utility component should be upgraded, supplemented, renovated or redesigned for a further planning period. In this Report, Population Forecasting has been done upto the year 2031 using a few standard empirical formuli as shown below.

FORECASTED POPULATION

Year Geometric Progression Method Arithmetic Progression Method Incremental Increase Method
2011 4,24,630 3,71,169 3,97,412
2021 5,85,820 4,34,546 5,13,274
2031 8,08,200 4,97,923 6,55,380

Forecasting of the population using various procedures gives a fair idea about the future scenario. But none of the procedures can prove to be authentic or accurate as stated by various experts on social and demographic studies and research. However, the population of Berhampur City (Present Municipal Corporation Limit) is expected to be;

  • 2009 (present) : 385356 (0.385 million)
  • 2031                   : 7,00,000 (0.70 million)
  • Decade Growth Rate (Geometrical Progression) : 31.50%

Sl. No. Year Total Population Total Households Total Population in Slums Total Households in Slums Remarks
1 1991 210418 42812 74629 17905 Detailed Slum Survey was done in 1997 and in 2004. Those data have been used to estimate the corresponding data for subsequent years w.e.f.2005-2009. However, the data of 1991 and 2001 are as per available census data.
2 2001 307792 57796 111943 25212
3 2009 (Estimated 385356 72360 117541 26270
4 Growth Rate in %  from 1991-2001 46.28 % 35% 49.98% 40.80%

Note:  It is useful to mention here that the official territory of Berhampur Municipality, now, Berhampur Municipal Corporation w.e.f. December, 2008, has not undergone any change since 1986.  Further, the growth rates in Slums and in the whole City are different.  Growth rates were very high during 1991 to 2001.  But as per Slum data available from 2001 to 2004, it is found that the growth rates in Slums have reduced substantially and those reduced rates have been used to estimate the Slum data for 2009.
