One of 5 Least Literate States
The state, which has taken several measures in the past decade to improve the literacy rate, seems to have fallen short of the target as it figures among the bottom five states in literacy rate. The literacy rate in the state is 67.02 percent, with 60.45 percent in rural and 80.09 percent in urban areas. In 2001, it was 60.47 percent, which means the increase is a mere 6.55 percent in one decade. Though the male-female gap in the literacy rate has decreased from 19.89 percent (2001) to 15.73 (2011), it is not reflected in the case of some districts like Kadapa, where the gap is highest with 21.01 percent. On the other hand, West Godavari district has the lowest gap with 6.56 percent.
