Delimitation Meaning in Hindi (Election Term)

The exact Hindi translation for Delimitation is परिसीमन (Pariseeman).

• It literally means 'fixing the limits or boundaries'.

In a democracy, the population of different cities and states constantly changes. Some cities grow massive, while others shrink.

• The Problem: If a city grows too big, one single Member of Parliament (MP) might end up representing 40 lakh people, while another MP in a rural area only represents 5 lakh people. This makes the value of a vote unequal.
• The Solution (Delimitation): To fix this, the government sets up a Delimitation Commission. Their job is to completely redraw the boundaries of the Lok Sabha and State Assembly constituencies (चुनावी क्षेत्रों की सीमाएं दोबारा तय करना) based on the latest census data, ensuring that every MP represents roughly an equal number of people.

• English: The delimitation of constituencies in Jammu and Kashmir has been completed. Hindi: जम्मू और कश्मीर में चुनाव क्षेत्रों का परिसीमन पूरा हो गया है।
