Like the sex composition of the total population, the sex composition by age groups is vital for studying the demographic trends of young population, its future patterns and particularly, the status of the girl child. At the Census 2011, sex ratio of the population in the age group 0-6 years has been registered as 919, in India, decreasing from 927 in 2001.Overall the decreasing sex ratio in this age group has a cascading effect on population over a period of time leading to diminishing sex ratio in the country. To study the scenario and estimates the future trend of CSR of India by using previous years data. This time series data analysis study was conducted during February 2017. Study included the data of Indian census 1961 to 2011. Study had focused mainly on data of India. Study had systemically searched the data and relevant information from internet, internet and index journals. Bi-variate analysis regarding to know the association between dependent and independent variable, Correlation and Simple linear regression model have applied accordingly. India recorded a 8 point decrease in CSR from girls to 1000 boys in 2001 to 2011, still significantly lower than desirable levels. After analyses and estimates the data the projected child sex ratio up to 2021 it is 908 girls per 1000 boys which also in decline trend to compare with the previous years of CSR of India. Correlation coefficient and R-squared value was -0.983 and 0.966 respectively. Study results show that if there is no change in current situation or more actions are not taken, CSR of India will continuously decrease. Parents in a society should change their attitude towards certain norms that lead them to give better care to their sons than their daughters, and excess female mortality may be an unintended consequence.
