According to Census of India 2011, in which of the following states was the Scheduled Caste (SC) population NOT recorded?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Nagaland .
According to the Census of India 2011, the Scheduled Caste (SC) population was NOT recorded in the state of Nagaland.
The Indian Constitution allows for the identification of Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) based on historical and social disadvantages. However, in Nagaland, no communities have been officially classified as Scheduled Castes, and hence, the SC population is recorded as zero in the 2011 Census for that state.
