Incredible though it may seem, while the percentage of literacy in India has been going up, the number of illiterates has also been increasing. Thus, according to the 1966 figures there were 353 million illiterates in country-20 million more than that in 1961. During the said period the percentage of literacy went up from 24 percent. The explanation for this paradox lies in rapid growth of population which has outpassed whatever little progress has been achieved in years; For instance from 1951 to 1961, literacy increased at the annual average rate of 0.7 per cent while the population grew by 2.15 percent every year. But population explosion is not entirely responsible for growing number of illiterates. The apathy of most in failing to tackle the problem of adult literacy is partly to blame. Till now, they have shown little awareness of the magnitude of the problem. Moreover follow up measures to prevent neo-literates slipping into illiteracy is just as important as the adult literacy campaigns. Here too, the State Education authorities have been negligent. Not sufficient efforts have been made for ‘continued education’. This can be done by setting up more rural libraries, adult schools and providing correspondence courses.

Options:
A) 37.3 crore
