Question

Which state has the highest percentage of urban population? Give one reason.

Answer 1

• As per the Census of India 2011, over 62% of Goa's population lives in urban areas, which is the highest among all states.
• One of the key reasons for this high urbanization is the state's relatively small size, high level of infrastructure development, and strong economy based on tourism, mining, and services. The presence of a vibrant tourism industry has led to the growth of cities and towns, attracting both domestic and international visitors, which fuels urbanization.
