Maharashtra is the financial capital of India, having its stock exchange, and most of the essential shipyards for the country have always been the centre of attraction for India and foreign companies. 

Population increase

The biggest problem for India in recent times is the population growth rate. The population growth rate in India has been massively huge in terms of numbers, and because India is small, population density has also been a considerable problem. The population size has also grown massively compared to census 2001 and census 2011 of Maharashtra state.

The higher cost of living in Maharashtra compared to other states has been one of the many reasons why the population of Maharashtra has not grown like other states. Still, 15 million is a significant value for population size. Numerous Information technology, automobile, and other manufacturing industries, the coastal region’s temperate weather, and the infrastructure of Maharashtra have lured vast numbers of people and their families to settle in Maharashtra.

Mumbai is the biggest city in Maharashtra, and the population size of Mumbai has increased from 2,538,473 to 3,124,458.

Literacy rate of Maharashtra

If we talk about the literacy rate, then Maharashtra is one of the most literate states in our country because of our country’s financial capital. Not only that, but because of several governments and private schools and universities and colleges in Maharashtra, every person in the state has the pleasure of sending their child to the school and colleges.

We can also compute from the comparison that the Total literacy rate 7 + years in 2001 was 76.88% and in 2011 was 82.34%. Let’s talk about male and female total literates, 7+ years. The comparison between the census 2001 and census 2011 of Maharashtra state shows that the natural male literacy rate was reduced from 85.97% in 2001 to 83.38% in 2011.

Sex Ratio 

Maharashtra’s sex ratio has always been on a drastic roll; for children, their sex ratio has decreased massively, but on the other hand, for adults, their population size and the sex ratio have increased steadily. A comparison between the census 2001 and census 2011 of Maharashtra showed that the sex ratio for over seven years had risen from 922 in 2001 to 929 in 2011. However, for the population size below seven years, the comparison shows that the sex ratio decreased from 913 in 2001 in Maharashtra to 894 in 2011.

A decrease in the sex ratio of female children is not always an indication of a sick mind, but it has been a problem and concern in India. While many of the other states had shown good growth in the sex ratio of female children, Maharashtra was suffering to get hold of the situation. But in the current time, it has been controlled well.

One of the most prominent reasons for Maharashtra’s steady and positive growth is that its rural region is also growing.
