Literacy rate
From 1991 onwards, the definition of literacy in the Indian census is as follows:
The rate of literacy rate or “effective literacy rate” is called the ratio of the population to the people of the entire population of a particular time and area, whose age is 7 years or more.
Literacy rate percentage = educated population / total population x 100
Indian literacy rate in the 2011 census is 75.06, which was only 18% in 1947. The literacy rate of India is less than 84% of the literacy rate of the world. There is a significant difference between male and female literacy in India, where the literacy rate of men is 82.14, whereas in women it is only 65.46 percent.
The National Literacy Mission, which started almost 20 years ago, has now been revamped to speed up. Three important programs of education spread under the campaign have been incorporated in the scheme launched in the name of Adult Education and Skill Development. In the spread of literacy, information and communication technology will now be used extensively.

Along with this, ‘continuous education and awareness’ has been started for a new program. Under this program, aim is to make illiterate literate and take those who are well-educated, in the direction of employment-oriented education. For this, new packages of education will be prepared during the 11th Five-Year Plan. According to sources in the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development, these packages will be prepared keeping in mind the needs of the youth of different classes. Integrating district literacy committees and Panchayati Raj systems will be an attempt to make the literacy mission effective in the right direction.
The program will be run specifically by scheduled castes, tribes, minorities, and rural women. To get this objective backward and tribal multiplicity states will be targeted. By 2012, 250 public educational institutions will be set up. The goal is to bring 85 percent of the country’s population to the periphery of literacy till the completion of the 11th Five Year Plan (the year 2012). Along with this, special programs will be started to bridge the gap between the literacy of men and women. This difference should be reduced to 10 percent.

Conclusion:
In the year 1988, starting the National Literacy Campaign, youths aged 15 to 35 years were targeted. Based on the experience of the last two decades, it is now being felt that if the literacy is not linked to the living, then the benefits of this mission will not be realized in the real sense. According to the Ministry’s figures, literacy in the country was around 18 percent in 1951, which reached almost 65 percent in 2001. During this period, male literacy is around 75 percent and female literacy is around 63 percent. Although the percentage of literacy is on the rise, there is still the difference between literacy in men and women. Till that time to today, the journey had been long and the results also.
