Among the states in India, Kerala had the highest literary rate with ** percent in 2011. Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh and the capital territory of Delhi followed Kerala with above average literacy rates. Notably, all the leading states in the country had more literate males than females at the time of the census.

The data shows the year-wise and state or union territory-wise literacy and rural and urban literacy, for male, female, and total literacy, in India according to Census.

Note: 1. Literacy rate is defined as the population of literates in the population aged 7 year and above. 2. The 1991 data (Excluding Jammu & Kashmir)and 2001 data (Excludes figures of Paomata, Mao Maran and Pura sub-divisions of Senapati district of Manipur for 2001) refer to Census of India.

The dataset contains Year and State wise Literacy Rate

Note: 1. Literacy rates for 1951, 1961 and 1971 Censuses relate to population aged five years and above. The rates for the 1981, 1991, 2001 and 2011 Censuses relate to the population aged seven years and above. The literacy rate for 1951 in case of West Bengal relates to total population including 0-4 age group. Literacy rate for 1951 in respect of Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Manipur are based on sample population. 2. India and Manipur figures exclude those of the three sub-divisions viz., Mao Maram, Paomata and Purul of Senapati district of Manipur as census result of 2001 in these three sub-divisions were cancelled due to technical and administrative reasons.

Literacy in India has been increasing as more and more people receive a better education, but it is still far from all-encompassing. In 2023, the degree of literacy in India was about 77 percent, with the majority of literate Indians being men. It is estimated that the global literacy rate for people aged 15 and above is about 86 percent. How to read a literacy rateIn order to identify potential for intellectual and educational progress, the literacy rate of a country covers the level of education and skills acquired by a country’s inhabitants. Literacy is an important indicator of a country’s economic progress and the standard of living – it shows how many people have access to education. However, the standards to measure literacy cannot be universally applied. Measures to identify and define illiterate and literate inhabitants vary from country to country: In some, illiteracy is equated with no schooling at all, for example. Writings on the wallGlobally speaking, more men are able to read and write than women, and this disparity is also reflected in the literacy rate in India – with scarcity of schools and education in rural areas being one factor, and poverty another. Especially in rural areas, women and girls are often not given proper access to formal education, and even if they are, many drop out. Today, India is already being surpassed in this area by other emerging economies, like Brazil, China, and even by most other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. To catch up, India now has to offer more educational programs to its rural population, not only on how to read and write, but also on traditional gender roles and rights.

India’s Literacy Rate Trend from 1951 to 2011 reflects remarkable progress, with literacy rising from 18.33% in 1951 to 72.99% in 2011. This near fourfold increase showcases India's post-independence educational achievements. Kerala led the way, boosting literacy from 47.18% in 1951 to 94% in 2011, highlighting effective educational policies and social reforms. While Lakshadweep (91.85%) and Mizoram (91.33%) also excelled, Bihar (61.80%) and Rajasthan (66.11%) struggled below the national average. The Female literacy rate in India 1951 was significantly low but improved over the decades. Despite rapid strides, regional disparities persist, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to achieve universal literacy.

Context

There are more than 26.8 million people or 2.2% of the population currently who have disabilities in India (Census 2011) which itself is said to be a very conservative estimate. There is a lot of stigma associated with the disabled community and a very high inequality in terms of social as well as monetary status between the disabled community and the entire population.

Column names and legends

2000-01-INC = Income of each state for the year 2001 2011-12-INC = Income of each state for the year 2011

2001 - LIT = Literacy rate of each state for the year 2001 2011- LIT = Literacy rate of each state for the year 2011

2001 - POP = Total population of each state for the year 2001 2011- POP = Total population of each state for the year 2011

2001 -SEX_Ratio = Sex_Ratio of the each state for the year 2001 2011 -SEX_Ratio = Sex_Ratio of the each state for the year 2011

2001 -UNEMP = Unemployment rate of the each state for the year 2001 2011 -UNEMP = Unemployment rate of the each state for the year 2011

2001 -Poverty = Poverty rate of the each state for the year 2001 2011 -Poverty = Poverty rate of the each state for the year 2001

Unemployment Rate - for a month is calculated using the following formula: The monthly estimations for India are calculated as a ratio of the total estimated unemployed persons in India to the total estimated labor force for a month

Poverty rate = A common method used to estimate poverty in India is based on the income or consumption levels and if the income or consumption falls below a given minimum level, then the household is said to be Below the Poverty Line

state's Income measured using state domestic product - is the total value of goods and services produced during any financial year within the geographical boundaries of a state

Literacy rate - Total number of literate persons in a given age group, expressed as a percentage of the total population in that age group. The adult literacy rate measures literacy among persons aged 15 years and above, and the youth literacy rate measures literacy among persons aged 15 to 24 years

I wouldn't be here without the help of my friends and people who read this post. I owe you thanks for this research.

Inspiration

here are pretty basic question but I would high appreciate the data scientist community for any deep insight of the data in plots Cheers!!

Objective of the study:

-Is state's income is based on the education of the state -Does literacy rate contribute any changes to poverty rate
