literacy levels

As always, I am happy to report anything good about India, which is so rarely reported :). Below, you will find the literacy levels graph in case of males and females. You will notice that the female graph is fast catching up with the male graph.


In the below graph, you will see the rural urban trend. Again, note that the rural line is fast catching up with the urban graph. This is very good news.



The critics would argue the parameters of judging a person as literate or illiterate. I agree that the parameters are pretty basic, but the upward trend in graph is for all to see.
