Demographics of Rodoo Village According to the official data published by the Government of India, Rodoo is a village with a total of 1,070 households and a population of 6,223 individuals. The demographic distribution provides key insights into literacy, workforce participation, age structure, and caste composition.
Population Overview Total population: 6,223 Males: 3,071 Females: 3,152 Children aged 0–6 years: 997 Boys (0–6): 546 Girls (0–6): 451 The sex ratio is 1,026 females per 1,000 males, which is higher than the national average. However, the child sex ratio (0–6 years) stands at approximately 826 girls per 1,000 boys, significantly below the national average (as per the 2011 census), indicating a potential gender disparity at birth or during early childhood.
Caste Composition Scheduled Castes (SC): 1,824 individuals (29.3% of the population) SC Males: 917 SC Females: 907 Scheduled Tribes (ST): 3 individuals (Negligible proportion)
Literacy Total literate persons: 3,142 (50.5% of the total population) Literate males: 1,952 (63.5% of total males) Literate females: 1,190 (37.8% of total females) Illiterate persons: 3,081 Illiterate males: 1,119 Illiterate females: 1,962 The literacy rate in Rodoo is below the national rural average. Female literacy in particular remains considerably low, with more than 62% of women in the village classified as illiterate.
Workforce Profile Total working population: 2,926 (47% of total population)
Male workers: 1,569 Female workers: 1,357 Main workers: 1,515 Main cultivators: 920 Males: 515 Females: 405 Agricultural labourers: 290 Males: 200 Females: 90 Household industry workers: 23 Non-working population: 3,297 (52.9%)
Agriculture remains the predominant occupation, with main cultivators comprising over 60% of the main workforce. Female participation in agriculture is notable, although women are underrepresented in formal or diversified economic sectors.
Developmental Observations and Recommendations Based on the demographic data, several key areas have been identified for development:
Education: With nearly half the population illiterate and female literacy particularly low (37.8%), education remains a priority area. Establishing and strengthening educational infrastructure, especially for girls and adult women, could improve social and economic outcomes.
Child Sex Ratio: The low child sex ratio (826 girls per 1,000 boys) suggests the need for awareness campaigns and improved implementation of government schemes like Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao.
Economic Diversification: Only 23 individuals are employed in household industries. Encouraging skill development and promoting small-scale industries or self-help groups (SHGs) could diversify income sources and reduce dependence on agriculture.
Women’s Employment: Female participation in the workforce (approximately 44% of total workers) is significant, but largely confined to agriculture. Programs focusing on vocational training, entrepreneurship, and access to credit could enhance women's economic engagement.
Scheduled Caste Empowerment: Given the high proportion of Scheduled Caste residents (29.3%), targeted inclusion in education, employment, and skill-building initiatives is important for equitable development.
Conclusion Rodoo's demographic profile reflects both traditional rural patterns and areas for targeted intervention. Improving literacy, especially among women, addressing gender disparities, and promoting economic diversification could collectively enhance the quality of life and development trajectory of the village.
