How I Taught My Grandmother to Read is a fictional narrative or a short story written by famous Indian prolific fiction author Sudha Murty. This story was published in the book How I Taught My Grandmother to Read and Other Stories in the year 2004 by Penguin Books India. Later this story was included in the Class 9 English Communicative CBSE Syllabus. This story narrates the incident where the author recalls that how she had taught her illiterate grandmother to read....Causes Of Illiteracy: Poverty is the main cause of illiteracy and vice versa. Similarly, underdevelopment causes illiteracy as much the same way illiteracy is the cause of underdevelopment.There are other causes too. Over population, financial and resource constraints. people’s superstition and negative attitude about education, lack of awareness etc are responsible for illiteracy.

Bad Effect Of Illiteracy: Illiteracy generates hundreds of problems. Because of illiteracy, people don’t know how to earn well and how to spend well. As a result they can not come out of their poverty trap. Many do not have knowledge about food and nutrition. So they suffer from various kinds of diseases. In a word, illiteracy is the cause of poor socio-economic condition, high mortality rate, low life expectancy ,child-labor and child marriage and high growth rate of population.

Illiteracy And Development: Illiteracy frustrates all developmental programmes of the government. Again, in order to improve the poor condition of the illiterate people, government has to spend a huge some of money on different programmes. This affects other sectors and hinders long-term development of the country....!!!!
