About This Page
Population, area, and literacy figures are sourced from Census data
and Survey of India (see footer). DRISHTI intentionally does not
display GDP, growth-rate, or per-capita-income figures on state
pages, since these change constantly and cannot be verified as
current without a live government API — showing stale numbers as
if live would be misleading. Use the State News
tab for what's actually happening right now.
