As per the Census of 2011, which of the following states/UT has literacy rate of more than 90%?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Mizoram.

According to the 2011 Census, Mizoram has a literacy rate of 91.33%, the highest among the given options.

Other options:

  1. Rajasthan – Literacy rate of 66.11%, below the national average due to historical socio-economic challenges.

  2. Goa – Close with 88.70%, benefiting from strong education infrastructure but still under 90%.

  3. Tripura – Achieved 87.22%, showing significant improvement but not crossing 90%.

Mizoram's high literacy is attributed to community-driven education initiatives, Christian missionary influence, and government policies. Kerala (94.00%) and Lakshadweep (91.85%) also exceed 90%, but among the given choices, Mizoram stands out.
