Question

Which one of the following states has the highest proportion of the urban population in India according to the 2011 Census?

पर्याय

• Tamil Nadu

• Maharashtra

• Kerala

• Goa

Answer 1

Goa

Explanation:

According to the 2011 Census data, Goa has the highest proportion of its population living in urban areas among all Indian states, with 62.17%. Its small geographic size, combined with a robust, tourism-driven service sector, has led to a heavy concentration of people in well-developed towns. In contrast, while Tamil Nadu (48.45%), Kerala (47.72%), and Maharashtra (45.23%) are heavily urbanised major states, their overall percentages remain lower than Goa’s.
