Explanation:
Extent of success achieved pertaining to the challenge of illiteracy in India. Explanation: ... While India has an average literacy rate of 74.04 percent according to the census of 2011, however, it should be noted here that anyone who aged seven years and over, can read and write is considered to be literate.
Poverty & Ignorance are the reasons.
Illiteracy level is decreasing now a days, thanks to the ‘right to education’.
Souten states are much better. Northern states are pickingup now. Lot of NGOs also committed to educate Indian mass.
One section of people studying so many degrees in govt provided facilities. But, some other section of people not getting the beneifits of development.
Poor performing states, state governments to be blamed for not taking effective actions proactively. Teachers qualifications are checked in recent days only.
Very soon India will reach its goal to achieve as having 100% literate citizens.
Answer:
Poverty imposes an oppressive weight on India, especially in the rural areas where almost three out of four Indians and 77 percent of the Indian poor live. Although poverty has been reduced during the past four decades, it remains painfully high.
Because of India's rapid population growth rate, even that advance, however, has not been sufficient to reduce the absolute number of poor, which increased from around 200 million in the 1950s to 312 million in 1993-94 (most recent Five Year Survey). This leaves India with the largest concentration of poor people in the world, particularly in the villages - fewer than 5,000 people - where 60 percent of all Indians live. Staggering as the overall numbers remain 240 million rural poor and 72 million urban poor - they do not tell the full story of change. Social indicators of well-being, for instance, record a history of progress that has, like the decline of poverty itself, been steady but slow.
Among those indicators, three illustrate this point. Infant mortality rates, as one example, fell from 146 deaths per thousand births in the 1950s to 80 at the start of this decade. Nevertheless, the Indian rate is still high and two Indian states, Orissa (124 per thousand in 1991) and Madhya Pradesh (117 per thousand in 1991), even recorded proportionally more infant deaths than the sub-Saharan average (104 per thousand in 1991). Life expectancy at birth, now twice the 30 years that was the Indian average in 1947, remains well below that of China (69 years.) Adult literacy rates for Indian males (64 percent) and for females (39 percent) in 1991 were almost identical to those for sub-Saharan Africa and far behind those in China - 96 percent for men, 85 percent for women - ten years earlier.
