Scheduled Castes(SC) population in india

The total population of Scheduled Castes (SCs) in India stands at approximately 201,378,372 individuals. This population is comprised of roughly 103,535,314 males and 97,843,058 females, indicating a sex ratio of 946 females for every 1000 males among the SC population.

The states with the highest SC population are predominantly located in northern and eastern India. Uttar Pradesh tops the list with over 41 million SC individuals, followed by West Bengal and Bihar with approximately 21 and 16 million respectively. Southern states like Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh also show a significant SC population with approximately 14 million each.

However, states in Northeast India like Mizoram, Daman & Diu, and Dadra & Nagar Haveli have significantly lower SC populations, all below 10,000 individuals. The Union Territory of Chandigarh and the state of Tripura also have relatively lower SC populations, both less than 1 million.

Interestingly, some states show a sex ratio in favor of females among the SC population, which is unusual considering the overall trend in India. These include Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Goa, and Puducherry, all with a sex ratio of over 1000 females per 1000 males. Conversely, states like Haryana, Delhi, and Chandigarh show a significantly lower female-to-male ratio.
