Which Union Territory had minimum literacy rate as per 2011 Census?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Dadra and Nagar Haveli.

As per the 2011 Census, Dadra and Nagar Haveli had the minimum literacy rate among the Union Territories of India. The literacy rate in this region was around 76.2%, which was lower compared to other Union Territories like Chandigarh, Delhi, and Lakshadweep, all of which had literacy rates above 80%. The relatively lower literacy rate in Dadra and Nagar Haveli was due to factors like a high tribal population, limited educational infrastructure, and socio-economic challenges in the region.
