Note: This question is taken from the Appendix (iii) of the NCERT book (India: People and Economy). Do not miss the Glossary and the Appendices while studying.
NCERT (2026-27): “Rural – Urban Composition … Do you know that India has 640,867 villages according to the Census 2011 out of which 597,608 (93.2 per cent) are inhabited villages? However, the distribution of rural population is not uniform throughout the country. You might have noted that the states like Himachal Pradesh and Bihar have very high percentage of rural population. The states of Goa and Mizoram have only little over half of their total population residing in villages.” Appendix (iii): India: Rural and Urban Population 2011
