Abstract :
The trends in literacy are considered as an index of pace at which the socio-economic transformation of society is taking place. Literacy is essential for eradicating poverty and mental isolation, for cultivating peaceful and friendly relations and for promoting the free play of demographic processes. Illiteracy, on the other hand, takes away man from his dignity perpetuates ignorance, poverty and mental isolation; deter peaceful and friendly relations and free demographic process and hampers social advancement, economic growth and political maturity. The National Adult Education Programme launched in 1978, viewed literacy as means to bring about fundamental change in socio – economic development. From the demographic point of view also literacy and level of education attainment are regarded as key variable affecting fertility, mortality and migration. Thus, literacy is the key to both development and population control. Despite our concreted efforts in over the last 60 years only 63.0 percent of the population was reported as literate in 2001 census whereas female literacy was only 51.3 percent.
