We investigate pulsar statistics based on theoretical model of radio emission of Ruderman-Sutherland (1975) and the revised spark model of Gil et al. (1999). In the present approach the intrinsic luminosity is no more given by observed relationship between Lr and P,. Our studies show that R-S & spark model can explain the statistical properties of radio pulsars reasonably well.
