Census 2011 counted 3,50,03,674 people in the area that is now Telangana: a state with a sex ratio (988) above the national average, literacy (66.54%) below it, a high urban share (38.88%) because of Hyderabad, and SC and ST shares of about 15.45% and 9.08%.
Standard · 11 min · Full course - 8.5.2Regions, districts and towns: district profiles and urban growth
Telangana's 33 districts are very unequal: Hyderabad is tiny, fully urban and the most crowded, while forest districts such as Mulugu and Bhadradri Kothagudem are large, rural and tribal; so exam questions on "highest" and "lowest" districts must say whether they use the ten old districts or the 33 present districts.
