7. As per Population Census of India 2011, the Literacy rate of
India has shown as improvement of almost 9 percent. It has
gone up to 74.04% in 2011 from 65.38% in 2001, thus showing an
increase of 9 percent in the last 10 years. It consists of male
literacy rate 82.14% and female literacy rate is 65.46%. Kerala
with 93.9% literacy rate is the top state in India. Lakshadweep
and Mizoram are at second and third position with 92.3% and
91.06% literacy rate respectively. Bihar with 63.08% literacy rate
is the last in terms of literacy rate in India.
measures to improve the literacy rate in villages and towns of
India.

9. WHY IS THE ADULT LITERACY RATE
HIGHER FOR MALES THAN FEMALES
IN SOME COUNTRIES?
• According to the Census 2001, as many as 560,687,797 persons in the country
are literate. Of these 336,533,716 are males and 224, 154,081 are females.
While the overall literacy rate works out to be 64.8 %, the male literacy rate is
75.3% and that for females is 53.7%, showing a gap of 21.6 percentage points
between the sexes at the national level. The gap is more in the rural areas. In the
urban areas, higher literacy rate has been recorded both for males and females
and the difference among the sexes is lower (13 percentage points ). Kerala,
Mizoram, Lakshadweep, Goa and Chandigarh occupy the top five positions in
literacy while Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir,
Arunachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Bihar, are at bottom.
• The literacy rates for rural population are the highest in Kerala, followed by
Lakshadweep, Mizoram, Goa, and Delhi. Fourteen (14) States / Uts have recorded
less than 60 percent rural Literacy rate.

12. HOW WOULD LITERACY RATE
CALCULATED?
Number of Literate persons divided by total population and
multiply by 100.
Suppose we want to calculate the Literacy Rate of Population
Aged 7 and Above in Mizoram for the year 2011, the number of
literates is 8,47,592 and its
POPULATION AGED 7 AND ABOVE IS 9,25,478. 8,47,592
IS DIVIDED BY 9,25,478 0.91584241 Multiply 0.91584241 by
100 = 91.58 Therefore, Literacy Rate for POPULATION AGED
7 AND ABOVE IN MIZORAM FOR THE YEAR 2011 IS
91.58.

14. ROLE OF GOVT IN IMPROVING
THE EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES
IN INDIA.
•Free education programs to poor people living in villages and towns.
•Setting up of new school and colleges at district and state levels.
•Several committees have been formed to ensure proper utilization of funds
allotted to improve literacy rate.
• Mid-day meal programmes.
16. • The 15th official census in India was calculated in the year 2011. In a
country like India, literacy is the main foundation for social and
economic growth. When the British rule ended in India in the year
1947 the literacy rate was just 12%. Over the years, India has
changed socially, economically, and globally.
• After the 2011 census, literacy rate India 2011 was found to be
74.04%. Compared to the adult literacy rate here the youth literacy
rate is about 9% higher. Though this seems like a very great
accomplishment, it is still a matter of concern that still so many
people in India cannot even read and write.
• The numbers of children who do not get education especially in the
rural areas are still high. Though the government has made a law that
every child under the age of 14 should get free education, the problem
of illiteracy is still at large.

18. RISE IN PERCENTAGE OF GDP AS
COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS
• India’s growth is expected to improve in 2014, the International
Monetary Fund said on Tuesday. “India’s growth is expected to recover
from 4.4 per cent in 2013 to 5.4 per cent in 2014, supported by
slightly stronger global growth, improving export competitiveness
and implementation of recently approved investment projects,” the
latest edition of the World Economic Outlook released by the IMF said.
• The outlook also estimated that India’s growth rate would increase to
6.4 per cent in 2015. In 2012, India’s growth rate stood at 4.7 per
cent.

20. REASONS FOR LOW LITERACY
RATES
• One of the main factors contributing to this relatively low literacy rate is the lack of
proper school facilities as well as the sheer inefficiency of teaching staff across the
government run education sector. There is a shortage of classrooms to accommodate all
the students in 2006–2007.In addition, there is no proper sanitation in most schools.
• The study of 188 government-run primary schools in central and northern India
revealed that 59% of the schools had no drinking water facility and 89% no toilets.In
600,000 villages and multiplying urban slum habitats, 'free and compulsory education'
is the basic literacy instruction dispensed by barely qualified 'para teachers'.The average
Pupil Teacher Ratio for All India is 1:42, implying teacher shortage. Such inadequacies
resulted in a non-standardized school system where literacy rates may differ.
• Furthermore, the expenditure allocated to education was never above 4.3% of the GDP from
1951 to 2002 despite the target of 6% by the Kothari Commission. This further
complicates the literacy problem in India.
