Answer 2

iteracy in India is a key for socio-economic progress,[2] and the Indian literacy rate has grown to 74.00% (2011 figure)[3] from 12% at the end of British rule in 1947.[4][5] Although this was a greater than sixfold improvement, the level is below the world average literacy rate of 84%. Despite government programmes, India's literacy rate increased only "sluggishly".[6] The 2011 census, indicated a 2001–2011 decadal literacy growth of 9.2%, which is slower than the growth seen during the previous decade. An old 1990 study estimated that it would take until 2060 for India to achieve universal literacy at then-current rate of progress.[7]

There is a wide gender disparity in the literacy rate in India: effective literacy rates (age 7 and above) in 2011 were 82.14% for men and 65.46% for women.[8] The low female literacy rate has had a dramatically negative impact on family planning and population stabillisation efforts in India. Studies have indicated that female literacy is a strong predictor of the use of contraception among married Indian couples, even when women do not otherwise have economic independence.[9] The census provided a positive indication that growth in female literacy rates (11.8%) was substantially faster than in male literacy rates (6.9%) in the 2001–2011 decadal period, which means the gender gap appears to be narrowing
