The population of Mizoram form 0.09 percent of India in 2011 census with 555,339 females and 541867 males. The sex ratio in the state is 975 females per 1000 male which is higher than the national average. The aim of this paper is to study the variation and trends of sex ratio in Mizoram and suggest some possible measure for balancing the male-female population of the state. The study argued that low sex ratio in Mizoram is not the result of female discrimination but due to high incidence of infant mortality rate. It is suggested that medical facilities should be improved in all the districts of Mizoram.
