Jaipur: Rajasthan has the largest gender split of 23.2% in terms of literacy levels throughout the country, making it one of the most unequal states of gender.
The National Statistics Survey report (NSSO) released in January said the literacy rate among men in the survey year (2017 and 2018) was 80.08%, while for women it was 57.6%.
The literacy rate of women in the state is the second worst in this country.
Census data in 2001 and 2011 said the literacy rate in the country had jumped from 60.40% to 66.11%.
Women have registered a large leap from 43.90% to 52.12% while men have recorded a slight increase from 75.70% to 79.19% in the same duration.
This description is a worrying news, especially because women’s education is directly related to the development of children.
This is definitely a long-term, but the state government must make it a mission to reduce the gender gap on this front.
“The main concern here is a large gender gap at the level in which we judge people by reading, writing, and simple mathematics.
It is clear that girls face discrimination when it comes to education directly from the primary level.
It has occurred when the government moved to the level Next and work hard to increase the ratio of female gross registration ratios in schools, colleges and universities, “said Rashmi Jain, Head of the Sociology Department, University of Rajasthan.
The 2011 census figure said women’s literacy was the worst in Jalore and Sirohi each with 38.47% and 39.73%.
The worst performance block for the same reason is Kotra in Tonk with a literacy rate of 16.49% females.
