Literacy Progress in Uttar Pradesh: A Districts Level Analysis

Differential levels of literacy across regions and sub-regions in India are systematically responsive to their development status. The state of Uttar Pradesh, similar to other underdeveloped states, lags in levels of literacy. An inspection of the pace and progress in this indicator in the state is rewarding towards aiding intervention for betterment. While the aggregate level progress in literacy in the state has been encouraging during the decade 2001–11, the differential and disparities across attributes like gender and residence are suggestive of being deterrent in achieving a better pace of progress in this vital indicator of human development. As regards assessment of relative disadvantages, gender associated disadvantage continues to grow as against the residential disadvantage in literacy. This exercise uncovers the reality of inherent gender-disadvantage in gaining literacy levels in contrast to the narrowing of gaps in male and female levels of literacy.
