Atkinson did not provide population recorded in census of 1865 for the reason of unreliable figures.

   The following population figures are taken from Paw (Garhwal Settlement report, page 29) –

Pargana---------1841---------1853-----------------1858-----------------1865

Badhan---------9824---------15541----------------16880---------------16618

 Devalgarh had an exclusivity that women folks as prostitutes, dancers etc were more initially but slowly they fled away from Shrinagar.

  The demography in 1865 was as follows-

Brahmin---------------- 59463

Rajpur, Chhatri -------- 30545

Business men -------------206

Shudra-Khasi--------------107620

Dome-------------------------35992

Now, in 1865, British officlas included Dome in Hindu and Khasia were excluded from Rajput.

The agriculture land increased from 1823 as 102921 20 path to 133935 X20 Path

 There was hundred percent popular growth in British rule within fifty years in British Garhwal
