India stubs by state

This concerns missing subcategories of Category:India stubs by state. There are 29 states and 7 union territories in India, but just fifteen states (and none of the union territories) have a stub cat for the state as a whole.

Background: having created over thirty stub templates for railway stations in India, and eleven stub categories for those stub templates with 60+ transclusions (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals/2017/February#Subdividing Indian railway station stubs and Category:Indian railway station stubs), I have found that several of these could only be set up as subsidiary to Category:Indian railway station stubs - there is no general stub category for the state. For example, Category:Andhra Pradesh railway station stubs has been set up as a subcategory of both Category:Indian railway station stubs and Category:Andhra Pradesh stubs, whereas Category:Delhi railway station stubs has been set up as a subcategory of Category:Indian railway station stubs alone, since Category:Delhi stubs does not exist. Similarly, {{Gujarat-railstation-stub}} upmerges to both Category:Indian railway station stubs and Category:Gujarat stubs, whereas {{ArunachalPradesh-railstation-stub}} upmerges to Category:Indian railway station stubs alone, since Category:Arunachal Pradesh stubs does not exist.

We have potential to regularise the situation by creating the missing 21 stub categories, since although not all have railway station stubs, the equivalent geo stub templates exist (as do the school stub templates) - and in many cases, the geo stub cats exist as well. The list is as follows:

Stub templates could also be created not just for these 21, but also for the two states where a stub cat exists but the stub template does not:
