"Only State in India with More Women Than Men: It's Not AP, Maharashtra, or Tamil Nadu"

Men and women together form the foundation of any society, each playing an essential role in its development. India, with its diverse states, exhibits varied ratios of male to female populations. Being one of the most populous countries in the world, India's demographic landscape is dynamic and ever-changing. But have you ever wondered which state in India has the highest female population?

According to the 2011 Census, women made up 48.46% of India's population, while men accounted for 51.54%. Although these numbers offer a snapshot, they have certainly evolved over the years.

Recent reports from TimesNow Hindi highlight Kerala as the state with the highest female population. Between 2001 and 2011, Kerala saw a significant improvement in its sex ratio, increasing by 26 points. By the end of this period, the state had reached a remarkable figure of 1,084 females for every 1,000 males. Following Kerala, Puducherry also reported a high sex ratio of 1,037 females per 1,000 males. On the other hand, some regions like Daman & Diu (618), Dadra & Nagar Haveli (774), and Chandigarh (818) reported much lower female-to-male ratios.

These numbers reflect ongoing social changes and efforts in gender equality, with Kerala standing out as a leading example of progress in this area.
