The literacy rate among females living in rural areas in Karnataka was around 60 percent in 2011. The literacy rate among males was higher than females in the state. Literacy rate disparity
Low literacy rates among rural areas of the country are mainly due to a lack of adequate facilities for education. The presence of a school in the vicinity does not guarantee the availability of resources in terms of functional toilets and access to drinking water. Even though there is free and compulsory education for children below 14 years, the necessity of money pars educational needs in many rural areas. Leading district with colleges
