Census figures of 2001 as well as 2011 show the overall number of females per 1,000 males being much less than 1,000. Some states, however, had over 1,000 or near 1,000 (Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu). What might be the reasons for this?

उत्तर
States such as Kerala, Puducherry, and Tamil Nadu have relatively higher sex ratios due to several social and economic factors:
- Higher Female Literacy: Better education among women increases awareness about health, nutrition, and rights.
- Better Healthcare: Good healthcare facilities and nutrition help reduce maternal and female mortality.
- Lower Son Preference: Relatively lower preference for sons can contribute to a more balanced sex ratio.
- Social and Cultural Factors: Greater gender equality and more progressive social attitudes support the well-being of girls and women.
- Urbanisation and Development: Better access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities can improve the status of women.
