Replacement Rate-2.1%
Only 9 states in India are making this number, or slightly better!
Tamil Nadu is at the bottom (1.4%). Highest per capita, highest per capita industrial production, highest percentage of women at work in India, etc.etc..... they are playing chess and winning grandmasters...
Bihar is at the top...we are beating Baba Ji's state 💪 ....

Another very striking and interesting fact is that, in all states, Rural ferility is below or at best at par with urban fertility rate...
In top-ranking states, urban people are making more babies than rural one's.... What's happening here? When did this trend reverse?

Don't blame Nitish Kumar ji. He had tried explaining FP mechanisms in the assembly, then he was lambasted for his statement, and the poor guy apologized too.
