Abstract
Sex ratio is an index of socio-economic conditions of an area and an important tool for regional analysis.Imbalances in sex composition and its regional variations provide an ideal ground for population geographers for analyzing the regional character of population data. In the present paper an attempt has been made to analyse the spatio-temporal pattern of sex ratio in Upper Krishna Basin taking tahsil as unit of analysis. It also depicts wide spatial variation in its regional pattern depending upon the economic conditions of the area. The regions recording the highsex ratio mainly suffer from poor agriculture and
promote emigration while areas of low sex ratio have undergone industrial development attracting immigration.
