Which of the following states has recorded negative population growth during 2001–11?
  1. a.Tripura

Answer: (C) Nagaland

Nagaland recorded a negative population growth rate of $-0.47\%$ during the 2001–2011 Census decade — the only state to record a decline in population in this period. This has been attributed partly to out-migration and revision of earlier inflated census counts.
