Trends of population size and growth of Nepal.

Size of population denotes the real number of people in a place. The population is dynamic in nature. In 1911 A.D. (1968 B.S.) the population of Nepal was 5.6 million which reached 8.2 million after 41 years in 2009 B.S. From 1968 to 1987 B.S., the population growth was in decreasing trend.
