Nowadays we are living in the 21st century, an era where men and women are now given equal rights and liberties in the entire world.
Therefore, so much effort by social reformer Raja Ram Mohan Roy in the early 19th century, India is still orthodox when it comes to giving equal rights to women as against men. If the female literacy rate is low in our country then the growth of the country is sluggish because when a woman is uneducated, it impacts every member of the family. In the states like Bihar, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh have the lowest literacy rate. According to 2011 cenus, Arunachal Pradesh (66.95%) is placed second-lowest in literacy in the country, just above Bihar, which recorded the least literacy of 63.82 percent.
