Social Structure<br />

Seen from the below shown chart that 12% of total population belongs to Schedule caste<br />

category. Schedule Tribe population is almost negligible and stands at 0.2% only. The census<br />

2001 does not give detail on the size of OBC population but it forms the major chunk of<br />

district‟s population. Analysis of the social composition of the district population is important<br />

because studies have revealed significant links between social identity and poverty.<br />
