Abstract
The study of demographic characteristics in any region has assumed enormous significance in the context of growing population and limited resources over the greater part of India. This is particularly true of the relatively under-developed region like Kishanganj District, which is situated in the flood effected area on indo-Nepal border any close to the Indo-Bangladesh border. Several demographic studies have been done on the more accessible and economically developed parts of the country, but little attention has been paid so far towards appreciation of population characteristics in such under-developed district Kishangaj. The study are is said to have experienced changes in its demographic character the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971. The present study is an attempt to analyze these changes and the factors responsible for them.
