The state of Tamil Nadu has the largest deposits of lignite at Neyveli in the South Arcot district. It contains 30-40 Carbon.

Tamil Nadu has historically had the highest representation of women in its police force among Indian states, through various recruitment initiatives and gender quotas in policing.

The major producer of jute in India is Bihar. 

 Rajasthan is the correct answer. 

Tamil Nadu is NOT a major wheat-producing state as its climate and soil are suited for rice cultivation, not wheat. Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh are India's top wheat-producing states, collectively contributing over 80% of the country's wheat production. The question asks which state CANNOT be called a major wheat producer.

West Bengal is India's largest rice producer, followed closely by Andhra Pradesh. These states have favorable conditions: fertile soil, adequate rainfall, and extensive cultivation areas. Punjab and Haryana lead in wheat, not rice production.

Andhra Pradesh is India's leading tobacco producer, particularly the light Virginia tobacco grown in the Godavari and Krishna river regions. States like MP, UP, and Bihar are major agricultural producers but not leading in tobacco cultivation specifically.

Tamil Nadu has the largest lignite reserves in India, primarily in the Neyveli region. The Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) operates extensive lignite mines and thermal power stations in the state, making Tamil Nadu the leading producer of this brown coal variety.

Maharashtra has the largest number of cotton textile mills in India, centered around Mumbai and Nagpur. The state's cotton-growing regions, proximity to ports, and historical development since the 1850s have made it the hub of India's cotton textile industry with the highest mill concentration.

According to Census 2011, Uttar Pradesh was the most populous state in India with approximately 199 million people. Bihar and Maharashtra were also among the top populated states but ranked below Uttar Pradesh.

25.07

Uttar Pradesh is the largest producer of sugarcane in India due to its fertile alluvial soil, especially in the western UP region (Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, Meerut). Maharashtra ranks second, followed by Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The tropical climate and extensive irrigation infrastructure in UP support high sugarcane yields.
