Abstract

From Introduction: Education is the catalytic factor, which leads to human resource development comprising better health and nutrition, improved socio-economic opportunities and more congenial and beneficial natural environment for all. There is already enough evidence in India to show that high Literacy rate, especially high female literacy rate is associated with low rates of population growth, infant mortality and maternal mortality besides a higher rate of life expectancy. Although the country has not yet achieved the goal of universalisation of elementary education (UEE) the 2001 census results reveal a literacy rate of 65%, with a higher rate of for female literacy (54%). This is highly encouraging and the country can hope to achieve the ultimate goal of Education for all by 2010 AD.
