male literacy at 75.85% and female literacy at 54.16%
In School,
out of School
Of
the 193 mn Children in the age group 6 to 14 years, government
indicates that 8.1 mn children are out of school as of Sept 2004.
Some NGOs
indicate this figure as grossly inaccurate, while others indicate
that if we add to this number, the number of drop outs, then the
number goes to 19 million which is quite acceptable.
It is however important to remember that this is the number of
children out of school and this does not mean the others are learning.
They are just in the school. Several surveys of government and
NGOs indicate that many 4th standard students cant read and write.

National
Human Development Report 2001 - Technical Appendix
In scaling the diverse indicators, the main
consideration has been to make attainments on each of them comparable
and at the same time ensuring that the selection of end points,
i.e., the maximum and the minimum value on the scales for each
indicator are such that they support inter-temporal comparison
for a reasonable period of time starting 1980. The scaling norms
that have been selected would remain valid at least till about
2020, at a reasonably improved pace of human development.
