Among the various states of India, there is one state which has the least population. This state is Sikkim. Sikkim is known for its beautiful natural beauty and peaceful environment. Due to the low population of this state, it remains a topic of special discussion.

Population of Sikkim:  The total population of Sikkim is around 6 lakhs, which is only 0.05% of the total population of India. Although the population of Sikkim is increasing slowly, it is still much less than other states of the country. Now the question arises why the population of Sikkim is so less.

Reasons for lack of population:  Sikkim is a hilly state, and most of the land here is covered with mountains. Because of this, there is very little suitable land for farming. Limited farming opportunities also affect population growth. The climate of Sikkim is also very harsh. There is heavy snowfall here in winters, and the temperature remains very low even in summers. Due to this harsh climate, people find it difficult to live here, and this also prevents population growth.

economy

Sikkim's economy depends mainly on tourism. Most of the people here are engaged in tourism related businesses. People come here due to tourism, but the rate of growth in the local population is not that high. Apart from this, education and health facilities are also less developed than other states, which hinders population growth. Sikkim is vulnerable to natural disasters like earthquakes and landslides. These natural disasters also affect the permanent infrastructure of the residents here.

Culture and development

The culture of Sikkim is very rich. It is a beautiful blend of Tibetan, Nepalese and Bhutanese culture. The people here mainly follow Buddhism, which is an important part of their cultural identity. The government is making many efforts for the development of Sikkim. Their goal is to make Sikkim a developed state. For this, various schemes and projects are being implemented, so that education, health and infrastructure can be improved here. Sikkim is known for its natural beauty and cultural diversity, but there are many reasons behind its low population. Mountainous terrain, harsh weather, and limited economic opportunities hinder its population growth. Nevertheless, the Sikkim government is striving towards development, and it is expected that the situation here will improve in the coming times.
