Explanation:

A central government survey has recently shown that Jammu and Kashmir has a lower fertility rate than any other state in India barring tiny Goa and Sikkim, a finding that goes contrary to the claims about runaway Muslim birth rates.

The National Family Health Survey (2019-21) reveals a sharp fall in the Total Fertility Rate (TFR), which is the average number of children a woman bears in her lifetime, in Jammu and Kashmir from 2.0 to 1.4, far below the national average of 2.

In comparison, Uttar Pradesh has a TFR of 2.4, Bihar 3, Madhya Pradesh 2.0, Jharkhand 2.3, Punjab 1.6, Odisha 1.8, and Kerala 1.8.

Only two states – Sikkim (1.1) and Goa (1.3) have TFRs below Jammu and Kashmir’s.
