In the 2011 census, Kanyakumari, Chennai and Tuticorin were the top literate districts in the state recording 91.7 percent, 90.2 percent and 86.2 percent respectively.

Tamil Nadu's sex ratio increased from 987 (females per 1,000 males) in 2001 to 996 in 2011, Rao said.

Nilgris topped the sex ratio chart with 1,042, followed by Thanjavur (1,035) and Nagapattinam (1,025), while Dharmapuri (946), Salem (954) and Krishnagiri (958) were at the bottom.

Of the total population, there were 7,423,832 children between (0-6 years) in the state, with 3,820,276 boys and 3,603,556 girls, marking a slight increase in the child sex ratio from 942 to 943 during 2001-2011.

This is actually not very good news. It implies that new born female babies are still being killed just as much and older females may be migrating to TN.
