It is a hard fact – One third of rural population in India are illiterate even after almost seven decades of Independence. This is the report of the Socio Economic and Caste Census (SECC) 2011. Rajasthan has got maximum illiteracy in rural area reaching up to 64%. It is a shame on the government of India and state governments that such a sad situation prevails.

This situation has to be changed. In addition to the central/state governments, the people have to take initiative to improve the literacy.
