Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Serchhip.

As per the 2011 Census, Serchhip district in Mizoram has the highest literacy rate in India at 97.91%.

Other options:

  1. Kottayam (Kerala) – 97.21% – Previously held the top spot but was surpassed by Serchhip in 2011.

  2. Champhai (Mizoram) –95.91% – Another high-literacy district in Mizoram but lower than Serchhip.

  3. Ernakulam (Kerala) – 95.89% – Among Kerala’s top districts but not the highest nationally.

Mizoram and Kerala dominate India’s literacy rankings due to strong educational policies and social development initiatives. Serchhip’s exceptional performance highlights Mizoram’s focus on universal education.
