Question

Write an article on topic towards total literacy

Answer 1

A person aged seven and above, who can both read and write with under­standing in any language, is treated as literate. A person, who can only read but cannot write, is not literate.

In the censuses prior to 1991, children below five years of age were necessarily treated as illiterates. In the census 1991, all children in the age group 0-6 were treated illiterate. The same criterion has been retained in the census of 2001 and 2011.

Literacy reflects the socio-economic and cultural set-up of a nation, ethnic group or community. Literacy is essential not only for the eradi­cation of poverty, but also for mental isolation for cultivating peaceful and friendly international relations and for permitting the free play of demographic processes as well.
