LITERACY RATE• LITERACY RATE REFERS TO THE

NUMBER OF EDUCATED PEOPLE IN A COUNTRY.

• IT SHOWS HOW DEVELOPED A COUNTRY IS.

• FACTORS AFFECTING LITERACY RATES ARE:

1.EASY ACCESS TO EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.

2.GOOD MIND SET OF EDUCATION.

3.FINANCIALLY WELL DEVELOPED

ILLETRACY RATE• ILLETRACY REFERS TO THE

NUMBER OF UNEDUCATED PEOPLE IN A COUNTRY.

• IT SHOWS HOW UNDEVELOPED OR REMOTE A COUNTRY IS.

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.

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.

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 itsPOPULATION 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.

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.

IN WHICH YEAR INDIA HAS THE HIGHEST LITERACY RATE?

• 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. 

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.

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.
