According to the Census of India 2011, the sex ratio of the country was 943 females for every 1,000 males. This represented a gradual improvement from the 2001 census, which recorded a sex ratio of 933. The sex ratio is an important demographic indicator that reflects the social condition of women in a society. Although the increase was modest, it indicated progress toward gender balance.
