Which Indian state recorded the highest Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in 2017?

Question

As of 2017, Bihar had the highest Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in India at 3.2. This high rate is largely due to socio-economic factors, including high illiteracy rates among women, which were around 51% in 2011. The TFR reflects the average number of children a woman is expected to have, with a replacement rate of 2.1 needed to maintain population levels. Urban areas have seen significant declines in TFR, indicating demographic shifts.
