What is the percentage of tribal population in the total population of Madhya Pradesh as per Census 2011 ?
Answer: B
Tribal people made up 21.1% of Madhya Pradesh's population in Census 2011.
Census 2011 counted about 1.53 crore Scheduled Tribe people in a total state population of about 7.26 crore, which works out to roughly 21.1 per cent. Madhya Pradesh has the largest tribal population of any Indian state in absolute numbers, with major groups such as the Bhil, Gond, Kol, Korku and Sahariya.
Dividing 1.53 crore by 7.26 crore gives 0.211, so 20.1% is a point too low, while 21.7% and 23.7% overstate the share. The figure to remember is that roughly one person in five in the state belongs to a Scheduled Tribe.
