Facts which did shock!
1. The decadal growth rate of Maharashtra was way above the national growth rate. This despite the fact that the literacy rate of the state is nearly 10% more than the national average.
2. The decadal growth of the Pimpri-Chinchwad region was 95% from 1991-2001.
3. The sex ratio in Maharahtra is also below the national average.
4. In the state 69% females are illiterate.
5. The SC/ST sex ratio is way higher than the state as a whole.
6. Pune has 40% or above people living in slums
7. Pune has the highest per capita income in India and also the least disparity between rich and poor.
Some of these findings on the first read seem contradictory, to be honest.
