In which state the largest portion of the slum population of India did live according to 2011 census?

  • A.Uttar Pradesh
  • B.West Bengal
  • C.Andhra Pradesh
  • D.Maharashtra

Answer: D

The largest share of India's slum population lived in Maharashtra.

The 2011 census counted about 1.18 crore slum dwellers in Maharashtra, about 18 per cent of India's slum population and the most of any state, followed by Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh. Greater Mumbai alone had over 40 lakh.

Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh had large slum populations but fewer than Maharashtra.
