31-459: Jind district is one of the 22 districts of Haryana state in northern India . Jind town is the administrative headquarters of the district. It is part of Hisar Division and was created in 1966. The district derives its name from its headquarters town Jind that is said to be derived from Jaintapuri . It is also said that this town had been founded at the time of the Mahabharata . According to

62-479: A few plover species is clearly related to a strongly male-biased adult sex ratio. Those species with male care and polyandry invariably have adult sex ratios with a large surplus of males, which in some cases can reach as high as six males per female. Male-biased adult sex ratios have also been shown to correlate with cooperative breeding in mammals such as alpine marmots and wild canids . This correlation may also apply to cooperatively breeding birds, though

93-624: A kingdom by seizing a large tract of the country, which included the territory occupied by the present district of Jind, from the Afghan governor Zain Khan in 1763 and created Jind city, the capital of the state in 1776. He built a fort here in 1775. Later, Sangrur was chosen as the capital of Jind State by Raja Sangat Singh (reigned 1822 to 1834). The Raja of Jind is of the same family as the Maharaja of Patiala, being like him, descended from Phul. The Originator of

124-571: A legend, the Pandavas built a temple in honour of Jainti Devi (the goddess of victory), offered prayers for success, and then launched the battle with the Kauravas . The town grew up around the temple and was named Jaintapuri (Abode of Jainti Devi) which later on came to be known as Jind. Raja Gajpat Singh, a great-grandson of Chaudhary Phul Singh Sidhu Jat, the founder of the Phulkian Misl , established

155-401: A population density of 493 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,280/sq mi). Its population growth rate over the decade 2001-2011 was 11.95%. Jind has a sex ratio of 870 females for every 1000 males, and a literacy rate of 72.7%. Scheduled Castes make up 21.16% of the population. Languages of Jind district (2011) At the time of the 2011 Census of India , 84.07% of the population in

186-458: Is further divided into two tehsils: Narwana and Uchana (sub-tehsil), and Safidon sub-division is also divided into two tehsils: Safidon and Pillu-Khera (sub-tehsil). There are five Vidhan Sabha constituencies in this district: Jind, Julana, Safidon, Uchana Kalan and Narwana. Jind, Julana and Safidon are part of Sonipat Lok Sabha constituency . Narwana and Uchana Kalan are part of Sirsa and Hisar Lok Sabha constituencies respectively. Jind town,

217-481: Is looked after by the district head of each development department such as PWD, Health, Education, Agriculture, Animal husbandry, etc. These officers belong to the various State Services. The Government of Haryana has divided Haryana state in the following 22 districts: List of films , Chandrawal , Jagat Jakhar ) Sex ratio A sex ratio is the ratio of males to females in a population . As explained by Fisher's principle , for evolutionary reasons this

248-461: Is nearly balanced, with 101 males for every 100 females. In most species, the sex ratio varies according to the age profile of the population. It is generally divided into four subdivisions: These definitions can be somewhat subjective since they lack clear boundaries. Sex ratio theory is a field of academic study which seeks to understand the sex ratios observed in nature from an evolutionary perspective. It continues to be heavily influenced by

279-753: Is roughly the same regardless of its sex, this translates to an approximately equal sex ratio. Bacteria of the genus Wolbachia cause skewed sex ratios in some arthropod species as they kill males. Sex-ratio of adult populations of pelagic copepods is usually skewed towards dominance of females. However, there are differences in adult sex ratios between families: in families in which females require multiple matings to keep producing eggs, sex ratios are less biased (close to 1); in families in which females can produce eggs continuously after only one mating, sex ratios are strongly skewed towards females. Several species of reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination , where incubation temperature of eggs determines

310-430: Is the capital of Punjab and Haryana jointly. On 1 November 1966 Haryana was constituted as a separate state with seven districts, according to the partition plan of the then East Punjab . The seven districts were Rohtak , Jind , Hisar , Mahendragarh , Gurgaon , Karnal , Ambala . The partition was based on the linguistic demographics and was held after the recommendation of Sardar Hukam Singh —the then Speaker of

341-489: Is the nation's eighteenth most populous . The state borders with Punjab and Himachal Pradesh to the north and Rajasthan to the west and south. The river Yamuna defines its eastern border with Uttar Pradesh . Haryana also surrounds Delhi on three sides, forming the northern, western and southern borders of Delhi. Consequently, a large area of Haryana is included in the National Capital Region . Chandigarh

372-492: Is typically about 1:1 in species which reproduce sexually . However, many species deviate from an even sex ratio, either periodically or permanently. Examples include parthenogenic and androgenetic species, periodically mating organisms such as aphids, some eusocial wasps , bees , ants , and termites . The human sex ratio is of particular interest to anthropologists and demographers. In human societies, sex ratios at birth may be considerably skewed by factors such as

403-538: The Indian Administrative Service . The district magistrate or the deputy commissioner is assisted by a number of officers belonging to Haryana Civil Service and other state services. A Superintendent of Police , an officer belonging to the Indian Police Service is entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining law and order and related issues of the district. He is assisted by the officers of

434-643: The Haryana Police Service and other Haryana Police officials. A Deputy Conservator of Forests, an officer belonging to the Indian Forest Service is responsible for managing the Forests, environment and wild-life related issues of the district. He is assisted by the officers of the Haryana Forest Service and other Haryana Forest officials and Haryana Wild-Life officials. Sectoral development

465-467: The Lok Sabha —Parliamentary Committee. A further 15 districts were added later by re-organizing the erstwhile districts. The First Chief minister of Haryana was Pt. Bhagwat Dayal Sharma . In 2016, Charkhi Dadri district was carved out of the larger Bhiwani. A district of Haryana state is an administrative geographical unit, headed by a Deputy Commissioner or District Magistrate, an officer belonging to

496-630: The Phulkian Dynasty, Phul left six sons, of whom Tiloka was the eldest, and from him are descended the families of Jind and Nabha. From Rama, the second son, sprang the greatest of the Phulkian houses, that of Patiala besides Bhadaur, Kot Duna and Malaudh. In 1627 Phul founded and gave his name to a village which was an important town in the State of Nabha. His two elder sons founded Bhai Rupa while Rama also built Rampura Phul. Punjab history reveals that Jind

527-408: The administrative headquarters, has an Arjun stadium, milk plant, cattle feed plant, and a large grain market . There are facilities for stay at PWD rest house, canal rest house, and market committee rest house. The town is well provided with schools, colleges, hospitals, and other basic amenities. Jind is noted for its numerous temples sacred to the worship of Shiva. Tradition assigns the settlement of

558-419: The age of mother at birth and by sex-selective abortion and infanticide . Exposure to pesticides and other environmental contaminants may be a significant contributing factor as well. As of 2024, the global sex ratio at birth is estimated at 107 boys to 100 girls (1,000 boys per 934 girls). By old age, the sex ratio reverses, with 81 older men for every 100 older women; across all ages, the global population

589-433: The district spoke Haryanvi , 12.41% Hindi and 2.80% Punjabi as their first language. Saraiki is also spoken by migrated people from Saraiki region.

620-544: The evidence is less clear. It is known, however, that both male-biased adult sex ratios and cooperative breeding tend to evolve where caring for offspring is extremely difficult due to low secondary productivity, as in Australia and Southern Africa . It is also known that in cooperative breeders where both sexes are philopatric like the varied sittella , adult sex ratios are equally or more male-biased than in those cooperative species, such as fairy-wrens , treecreepers and

651-413: The male fish dies, the strongest female changes its sex to become the male for the group. All of these wrasses are born female, and only become male in this situation. Other species, like clownfish, do this in reverse, where all start out as non-reproductive males, and the largest male becomes a female, with the second-largest male maturing to become reproductive. Traditionally, farmers have discovered that

682-434: The most economically efficient community of animals will have a large number of females and a very small number of males. A herd of cows with a few bulls or a flock of hens with one rooster are the most economical sex ratios for domesticated livestock. It was found that the amount of fertilizing pollen can influence secondary sex ratio in dioecious plants. Increase in pollen amount leads to decrease in number of male plants in

713-404: The number of males and females from the 1:1 sex ratio. Spending equal amounts of resources to produce offspring of either sex is an evolutionarily stable strategy : if the general population deviates from this equilibrium by favoring one sex, one can obtain higher reproductive success with less effort by producing more of the other. For species where the cost of successfully raising one offspring

744-440: The progeny. This relationship was confirmed on four plant species from three families – Rumex acetosa ( Polygonaceae ), Melandrium album (Caryophyllaceae), Cannabis sativa and Humulus japonicus ( Cannabinaceae ). In charadriiform birds, recent research has shown clearly that polyandry and sex-role reversal (where males care and females compete for mates) as found in phalaropes , jacanas , painted snipe and

775-480: The sex of the individual. In the American alligator , for example, females are hatched from eggs incubated between 27.7 to 30 °C (81.9 to 86.0 °F), whereas males are hatched from eggs 32.2 to 33.8 °C (90.0 to 92.8 °F). In this method, however, all eggs in a clutch (20–50) will be of the same sex. In fact, the natural sex ratio of this species is five females to one male. In birds, mothers can influence

806-414: The sex of their chicks. In peafowl , maternal body condition can influence the proportion of daughters in the range from 25% to 87%. Dichogamy (sequential hermaphroditism) is normal in several groups of fish, such as wrasses , parrotfish and clownfish . This can cause a discrepancy in the sex ratios as well. In the bluestreak cleaner wrasse , there is only one male for every group of 6-8 females. If

837-423: The sex ratio is approximately 1:1. His argument was summarised by W. D. Hamilton (1967) as follows, assuming that parents invest the same whether raising male or female offspring: In modern language, the 1:1 ratio is the evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS). This ratio has been observed in many species, including the bee Macrotera portalis . A study performed by Danforth observed no significant difference in

868-476: The time of its creation of Haryana state on 1 November 1966, Sangrur district was bifurcated and its Jind and Narwana tehsils were merged to form Jind district, one of the seven districts of the newly formed state. Jind tehsil was bifurcated to two tehsils: Jind and Safidon in 1966. The district comprises three sub-divisions: Jind, Narwana and Safidon. Jind sub-division is further divided into three tehsils: Jind, Julana and Alewa (sub-tehsil). Narwana sub-division

899-557: The town to the Mahabharat period. Rani Talab is the major tourist attraction and Pandu-Pidara and Ramrai are the main devotional places attracting devotees for Amaavas bath. According to the 2011 census Jind district has a population of 1,334,152, roughly equal to the nation of Mauritius or the US state of Maine . This gives it a ranking of 364th in India (out of a total of 640 ). The district has

930-471: The work of Eric Charnov . He defines five major questions, both for his book and the field in general (slightly abbreviated here): Biological research mostly concerns itself with sex allocation rather than sex ratio, sex allocation denoting the allocation of energy to either sex. Common research themes are the effects of local mate and resource competition (often abbreviated LMC and LRC, respectively). Fisher's principle (1930) explains why in most species,

961-600: Was founded by descendants of Phool. Jind was a native state in Haryana. Jind was a state of Siddus founded by the grandson of Chaudhary Phul Singh. Tiloka had two sons namely, 1. Gurudutta 2. Sukh Chain. Sukh Chain's descendants ruled Jind state and Gurudatta's descendants ruled Nabha state. After independence, Jind State was merged with the Indian union and the territory of the present district became part of Sangrur district of Patiala and East Punjab States Union on 15 July 1948. At
