Read the passage and answer the questions in 30-40 words.
Illiteracy is a state whereby one is unable to read and write.In its simplest form,it can be defined as lack of any or sufficient education.Illiteracy is a scar in out national life. Millions of people in our country are still in darkness of illiteracy and ignorance.They are deceived in every walk of life.Lack of literacy is a hurdle for the overall development and well-being of this country.It weakens the backbone of our country.It is not only baffling our democracy slowly but steadily also leading the vast democratic set up of this country of jeopardy.
Sometimes people who have had very basic education also experience challenges in reading and writing.Illiteracy makes a personal enemy of mankind.It is like a curse on his life,on his family and on his nation because the work of illiteracy is that of an inhibitor.This is to say,the more the number of illiterate people in country,the harder it will be for the country to develop.We can clarify this fact with an example.America whose illiteracy rate is below 5%and Canada whose illiteracy rate is around 8%are developed countries,whereas countries like Turkey and Iran with illiteracy rates of 61%and 43%respectively are underdeveloped countries. The illiterate population is unskilled and less productive.It is a fact that it is always tougher and more expensive to train illiterate people than to train educated ones.Due to ignorance and lack of rational thinking,they are easily deceived by intermediaries and employees.Again,taking an example of the glittering diamond industry of Surat,the labourers who cut and polish diamonds are largely betrayed just because 95%of them are uneducated and the diamond companies take its fullest advantage.They enforce overtime and low wages on them.
