The overall literacy rate in India increased from 18.3% in 1951 to 65% in 2001, there female literacy rate accounted for 55%. The percentage of girls enrolled at the primary level of education is slightly more than that of those enrolled at the upper primary level.Hence a significant changes have been witnessed.
Illiteracy in the country has hampered the development in a big way. The effort of the government to educate the masses have gone in vain. It has been witnessed that the publishing rules from 36.11 crores in 1951 to 101 crores in 2001. The BIMARU states, comprising of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh home to 40% of India's illiterate population, contribute 40% of the population. The national total fertility rate of 2.1 was achieved in the year 2006 while the BIMARU states would achieve it between 2039 to 2100. Kerala is the only state, which has achieved the female literacy rate of about 90% and intent mortality rate of around 13% part thousand live births. It has population growth rate of 1.2% per year. Kerala achieved the national fertility rate in the year 1998.
Kerala has been able to achieve its targets, the cost it made effort to educate the population than restricting itself to the school and colleges. The meanest of child labor has significant been out of it is because the masses become aware of their rights and privileges. The state of Tamil Nadu introduced several schemes for the unorganized labor, which led the women empowerment. Apart from the health care, the state of Andhra Pradesh promoted education, social welfare and rural the development programs leading the literacy of empowerment of women. The status accorded to the woman in the states is that of beast burden.
The literacy rate among the women is considerably below. This has crippled the state machinaries, as none of the development schemes are able to penetrate the lower strategy of society. Social evil like child marriages and child labor, and high population growth the the complaint by High immorality they in these states are the results of illiteracy among women. It has been rightly said if you educate a man you educate a person, but if you educate the women you educate the entire family. It can be noticed that the states, where the female literacy is equally emphasized with the male literacy, have recorded low population growth and high standards of living to stop in the other states the conditions of woman are pathetic. Illiteracy has forced them to be dependent upon their errands and later on to be controlled by their husbands. Marriage at the young age, followed by a number of children leads to mental mortality and the children.
At a few places in such states, the females are aware of the real estate of the contraceptive methods available in the country. They are exploited when they were in the unorganized sector and at home like maidservants, attendants etc. being educated herself, the mother is unable to teach our children. Child labor among the illiterates classes has resulted mainly because the mother is unable to guide her children and protect them from the menace. These are some of the ill effects of the female illiteracy.
Hence our Govt.should adopt further necessary measures for female education.
