Top Ten States of India to Live In

The Top Ten
1 Kerala

Kerala is one of the beautiful states in India and is the one of the 10 paradise on Earth. It is home to some of the most stunning beaches including Kovalam, Muzhappilangad, Varakala, and many more. It is also home to breathtaking hill stations, gripping waterfalls, historical places, religious ones, two national parks and 12 beautiful wildlife sanctuaries. For those in search of a serene hill station. In any case, the very peaceful atmosphere of Kerala which strongly encourages travelers to visit this amazing place.

I have travelled around India, I am sure that Kerala is the best, in every possible way. No much pollution, Neat, Clean (everyone have a Toilet), High literacy rate, Great food and Culture, Beautiful nature, High connectivity ( 4 International airports in the state ), Good People ( Friendly and neat ). Downside: Light cost of living ( when compared to other states ), Hard to find jobs ( because of high competition).

2 Tamil Nadu

I would say the Southern states of India! They are Classic. They preserve their culture! The Language! Way of living! Education! Medicine! And They are full of heart! They always welcome people to grow with them! They are heading the North of India! North Indians should realize that more than 50% of the money they receive from the central government are the taxes paid by South Indians!

And yet! They believe they are Great! Poor people. We don't have to argue about that! We know that we are better. If south had kept their money for their betterment! South India would have joined the league with Europe!

It is the most industrious, peaceful and secure place to live in. Women are also very safe in Tamil Nadu. Very rarely, do you see an agitation or strike pop up among the masses, which again, would b a peaceful demonstration. Tamil Nadu apart from being, the best place to do business, also has a strong purchasing power-all of it, which makes it the best place to live, shop and enjoy, unlike its crippled neighbor, Kerala.

3 Goa

Low percentage of Muslims compared to other states (which is good), but it has a high percentage of Christians (not good), but dharmic religions are still a majority which is good (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism)

Its economy is good, people are good, environment is good.

Goan people are very friendly and living here means having a good time.

4 Karnataka

Rich in culture, knowledge, resources, kindness of people, birth place different of philosophies, house for great acharyas, center for art, logic, science, humanitarian and righteous people,
kannada, one of the best language on earth, one of very few language which can be written as its spoken and language of perfection, 8 gnanpeeta, 1000s of contributors, great linguist vinobha bhave stated that kannada as queen in the world of languages, this language alone subdues all languages, then imagine, what if its discussed on other things from Karnataka or its contribution

People of Karnataka are soft spoken and are known for hospitality. Take Jainism / Buddhism flourishing. Consider the shops of Marwaris/Rajputs in every town and city. Live and let live is the policy. Fringe elements and caste politics are destabilizing the people and economy.
The glory of acceptance at the fullest needs to be reinvented again.

5 Gujarat

Surat in Gujrat is the best and the most developed place in India followed by Ahmedabad. The people here are friendly and helpful. There are streets with tasty and hygienic food. All places here are clean and there are beautiful bungalows and apartments to live. There is a low crime rate and good literacy rate. What else do we need? Gujrat is probably the best and most liveable place in India.

Have lived in Gujarat for 1.5 years, in a small town Palanpur, very good place to live, roads are so good, no electricity problem no water problem, people are submissive. Living is affordable. Most of people are v simple no show off.

Gujarat is a wonderful place as I have visited and stayed different states. I find people are simple, straight forward, hard working and know how to enjoy life. low crime rate good infrastructure and road network one of the best. safe for women and all. india best institutes IIM. PERD, ISRO to name few and top industries.

6 Himachal Pradesh

I have visited HP many times and apart from great holiday locations it has a lot to offer.It has many isolated locations that are very important for the Indian history. One such is the Dagshai jail and museum which shows the Britishers settlement in these areas and this area had played great role in the freedom struggle. Seeing these places now makes one really sad as they are not being highlighted and maintained directly by the government. So I request people visiting their destination places in HP to also visit such places wherever they see something related to our Indian history.

Being in the Indian Army I've been to almost every state in India. HP indeed is one of the most peaceful, naturally beautiful, friendly places in India. It at least deserves a position among the top 5.

Most peaceful, naturally beautiful, friendly people less courrept educated...i think it shout be on top in all aspects

7 Madhya Pradesh

This is best state in India there all religious people are living freely and this is called a little INDIA because this states peoples welcome all the people.

Best state with great history. And also the heart of india

MP is large than other state and liveing cost is cheep so it is best

8 Assam

Assam is my favourite state. It is a biologically diverse place. Here in the brahmaputra basin we can see the famous one-horned rhino. It is a very nice place to live because here we can see natural beauty, so I love this state.

Come to Awesome Assam... The land of Maa Kamakhya, The land of tea, The land of oil, The land of bamboos, The land of one-horned rhinos... Its India's pride

It's really an awesome state... Especially Guwahati...Free of crimes... It's just awesome.. If u can visit here at least once.

9 Rajasthan

I think Rajasthan is the best state to living just because u will get a better life with less cost and jaipur is the best city to live because of best food and royal culture and less traffic as compared with other cities

Rajasthani people are of practical nature but they also have a good heart. They are not selfish like mumbai or any other metro city people.

Yeah Rajasthan is a good state to live with family, here you find friendly natured people.

10 West Bengal

Best state of india.

1. Women are safe here and can travel alone late at night.

2. Flourishing investments, leading to a developed Bengal within some years.

3. Bengalis are the most friendly people.

4. Better than guzrat in terms of connectivity and business as per 2018 Ease of doing business.

5. Emerging megacities such as Bidhanogor, Rajarhat, Durgapur, Shiliguri, Maldah, Khorogpur, Kanchrapara, Kolyani and Howrah will reduce the burden of population on Kolkata.

6. Development rates are increasing every year in every city and towns of West Bengal.

7. West Bengal is better than guzrat.

Nice place. Will enjoy your stay there. Very culturally and historically charged. Also modern with many transport and recreational facilities. Food is VERY important. All communities present with many speaking hindi as well as english, so communication is not a problem.

Pros:
Very secular people

Rich culture

Center of intellectuals

North bengal is a beautiful place with unimaginable, splendid natural beauty.
And more importantly,here you find a majority of simple,friendly,loyal and very good people,who'll treat you more like family than an outsider.

Land of revolutionaries and many great people.

Rich history.

Minimal comunal intolerence.

High rate of not only tolerance,but also acceptance,at the same time.

Very safe place,if you're not a criminal.

Cons:

Overpopulated.

Some frenzy youths can be a menace(harassment by them if they're political hooligans,drunk robbers.)

PDA considered immoral

Corrupt "middle order(only)" politicians(top and bottom order ones are generally OK.)

Littering is too much in some places.

The Contenders
11 Maharashtra

Maharashtrian people welcome outsiders with open arms. No language barriers like Tamil Nadu. Lots of North Indian as well as South Indian people live in peace and harmony. A large variety of food options. Education system is good. Lots of beautiful forts and places to visit.

This state is not like Tamil nadu and other south Indian states.it have big heart and and a culture which is not insecure like Tamil nadu and kerala. Whole Indian economy and stability is maharashtra
Thanks to god

People are so friendly here... And most developed state of India... With natural beauty.. The beaches here are just superb! Street food of Mumbai, so amazing! Pavbhaji, vadapav, puranpoli, modak, sabudana vada just amazing cuisine! Fish dishes of konkan are best. And people are well mammered and educated.A. Deserves the no. 1 position.

12 Punjab

Punjabi people have the biggest hearts open & so so generous. They greet you like you are second to only God. They will stand at your side in times of trouble no matter what your background or religious belief. They are good honest people and very hardworking. Oh and we had a opportunity to attend a Punjabi wedding over three days! So much Energy and food out of this World.

Because Punjab now getting all support in infrastructure from Australia canda and other countries due to Sikhs living in that countries that money should always be spending on only Punjab because Punjab want to become separate nation by collecting all type weapons and development all countries want to take it in their nation it is the best state for you stay

I am living punjab jalandhar I really like to live here. Good natural envirnmont best for agriculture and business. While every state have own importance

13 Andhra Pradesh

Even me I love andhra because people don't know much about it if you go you don't wanna live this state I am honest I cry when leaving this state

The best place to stay in India!...can visit many tourist attractions indeed...though I'm not born in Andhra Pradesh I just love this place...

Best place to live in india, stayed in Rayalseema for few days, people living there are honest and helpful. Good road transportation and many temples are there to see.. like Tirumala, Srisailam etc..

14 Uttar Pradesh

UP is the worstest state in india the new CM is against the people who living in the state. There is no right to people. Judiciary also very bad. Those who have money they will get everything

It doesn't require a high cost, all facilities are available to middle class people at a nominal cost.

The crime hub of India. I am very much surprised to see UP's position up here on the 8th spot

15 Sikkim

Health comes first and it is pure organic. Gov is really good hearted that gov created an organic state. Shared money and help with people who had problems with organic at first and now they are building subway to save people from accident! This is called a perfect state. Only drawback is you won't get fast Internet like Kolkata and Delhi.

Sikkim should be in the first place... Its people are broad minded, the state is very clean, it has serene and scenic places everywhere. Most importantly, the temperature remains favourable even in Summers

Cleanest state, weather is very good and it is pollution free which means u get to breath fresh air..no traffic, no hustle and pustle and people are very friendly and down to earth. Lots of tourist spots are there, be it be adventure or a romantic trip..reasonable to stay..food is awesome..shopping is reasonable too and not yo forget the capital gangtok is filled with fashionable people..In 2016 it sikkim is awarded as the organic state of India.

16 Haryana

It is good state where people are friendly and tension free. When you listen their Haryanavi accent, it is bound that you'll laugh. Also, the population is less and the availability of electricity is perfectly fine.

The best state in terms of agricultural output, soldiers given to armed forces, Olympic medals, overall infrastructure, communal harmony.
Highest per capita income, each village of the state connected to roads and electricity access.

Haryana is number one...cause of Great hearted people in this state

17 Bihar

This is a bad place to live. People just pee on the streets and spit their pan masala on the floor. In Kerala about 10 maybe 20 years later it will be a new mini America

Great locations on the banks of River Ganges, Great people, very helpful and kindhearted! Only because of the politics it has its bad name.
But looking at its rich history, the glory is going to come back with coming generations.

Bihar was best but because of some politicians bihar losed his good status but one again bihar will be the best state in india after few years

18 Odisha

I am from Odisha. And you know that our state have a lot of traditions. I will request you to go to bhubaneshwar during January and enjoy the festival of Adivasi Mela.

Really Simple people, peaceful environment, high cultural values

Natural way of life, strongly attached to environment.

19 Chandigarh

Very nice state to live... very peaceful and people's are very nice and helpful And also very important thing is no pollution.

Clean and green 'CITY BEAUTIFUL' well educated peoples are here, women are safe as compared to other state.

Is the best place ever!

20 Telangana

Hyderabad is cosmopolitan city and cost living is very and anybody can easily chose as a place to live.

Its in 13 position then why there is lot of people living in Hyderabad?. This list is not accurate.

It is the next big thing of India, with IT and North-South culture culminating in Hyderabad

21 Uttarakhand

Smalll state with less population. Plenty of greenery. Tourism and tourist places are everywhere. Snowfall and full of rivers. River rafting to skiing to education to cleanliness to roads, everything is in Uttarakhand.
Best schools and only one state that has all IIT, AIIMS, NIT and IIM.

The seat of education and the city that has its old charm intact till date unlike other cities of rest of the country.people here are very open and accepting in terms of culture unlike the others who feel that their culture and language is threatened by the coming of culturally diverse people.

Uttarakhand is the cleanest and peaceful state in India.
People are honest and helpful in Uttarakhand.

22 Jharkhand

Not a single state in india is crime free and so the Jharkhand is. Not a big deal. Not a single person in India is living in a totally crime free zone. Here, people gives more respect to outsiders than the localities and this makes the Jharkhand a little unique from other states of India. People of Jharkhand don't see outsiders like an enemy which unfortunately lacks on other states.

Rich in mineral...

The best state

23 Manipur
