Which of the following Indian state has recorded negative population growth according to 2011 Indian population census ?
Answer: B
The state with negative population growth in the 2011 Census was Nagaland.
Nagaland's population fell from about 19.9 lakh in 2001 to about 19.8 lakh in 2011, a decadal growth of roughly -0.6 percent, the only state to record a decline. Part of the explanation offered was that the 2001 count had been inflated, so the 2011 figure corrected it.
Kerala grew slowly (about 4.9 percent) but still grew. Goa (about 8 percent) and Haryana (about 20 percent) also recorded positive growth.
