India is one of the most populated countries in the world, with a large number of men and women living in different states. Some states have a higher female population than others due to factors like birth rates, healthcare and migration. Understanding which state has the highest number of women helps in studying population growth, gender balance and the impact of government policies on women’s welfare.
India has 28 states and 8 Union Territories. States have their own governments, while Union Territories are governed by the central government. Each state and Union Territory has its own capital, culture and languages. Some well-known states are Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, while Delhi and Chandigarh are Union Territories.
Kerala has the largest female population in India, and its sex ratio has been high for many years. In the 2011 Census, the state recorded 1,084 women for every 1,000 men, showing that females outnumber males. This positive balance is mainly due to Kerala’s strong healthcare system, better education, and overall social progress, which help improve the well-being of women across the state.
The sex ratio is the number of females for every 1,000 males in a population. A higher sex ratio means more women, while a lower sex ratio means fewer women.
Besides Kerala, some other states and Union Territories also have a high sex ratio:
