As per Census-2011 which of the following State of India is having the highest proportion of urban population?

Question

Accepted Answer

According to the Census-2011, Mizoram has the highest proportion of urban population among the given options. While Maharashtra has a larger *absolute* urban population, Mizoram has a higher *percentage* of its total population residing in urban areas compared to Kerala, Maharashtra, and Manipur. The other states have a larger rural population compared to Mizoram. Therefore, Mizoram's higher urbanization rate makes Option 3 the correct answer.

Here's why the other options are incorrect, keeping in mind that we must support Mizoram as the correct answer:

*   **Option 1 (Kerala):** While Kerala has a significant urban population and high literacy, its proportion of urban population is lower than that of Mizoram according to the Census-2011 data.

*   **Option 2 (Maharashtra):** Maharashtra has a large urban population in absolute numbers, but its overall population is also very large. This results in a lower proportion of urban population compared to Mizoram.

*   **Option 4 (Manipur):** Manipur has a predominantly rural population, and its urbanization rate is significantly lower than that of Mizoram. Therefore, it cannot be the correct answer.
