Population and literacy have been a concern for India for decades. It is significant to note that though India was amongst the first countries in the world to have introduced a national family planning program in the 1950’s, it is still the second most populous country in the world. The census of 2001 and 2011 shows a decline in population growth from 21.34% to 17.46%. Female literacy on the other hand has increased by a mere 54% to 65% in the same decade. This data points towards the inverse relationship between female literacy and population growth. This relation can further be corroborated by the studying the data of the state Kerela where female literacy has increased from 86.17% in 1991 to 87.72% in 2001 and 91.98% in 2011, and the population growth has moved from 14.32% to 9.42% and further to 4.9% in the same years.
