Population growth is an important aspect to understand the actions and the shape of population in particular area. The study of population growth have been done on district and as well as on block level. The result shows that where Faizabad Tehsil was facing low and even negative population growth before 2000. It witnessed highest growth (27%) in 2001 and moderate growth (16.90%) in 2011. This shows migration from nearby tehsils, mainly from Milkipur. Moderate growth in Faizabad District in last decade was a positive change in the shape of population. Thus we can say this happened mainly due to segregation of south eastern Tehsils.
