  abstract = {{T}his paper describes the methodology for estimating recent fertility levels at the district level in {I}ndia based on the 2011 {C}ensus figures. {D}ue to the absence of reliable vital statistics for {I}ndian districts, fertility levels are assessed using a set of indirect methods. {U}sing mortality estimates and the child population aged 0-6 years to estimate the number of births during the seven years preceding the census, figures for crude birth rates and fertility rates are derived for all {I}ndian districts. {T}he results are compared with those derived from the 2001 {C}ensus. {O}ur analysis points, in particular, to the significant population overcount in {J}ammu and {K}ashmir during the 2011 {C}ensus and the continuous but extremely slow process of fertility decline in {I}ndia.},
