Volume : II, Issue : III, April - 2012 Regional and Gender Disparities of Literacy Rates in Karnataka – Evidence From Census 2001 And 2011 Mohammed Ashfaq Ahmed AND P.M. Honakeri DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : This article makes an attempt to analyze the progress of literacy rates across districts in Karnataka.
Co-efficient of Variation is used to indicate the inter-district variations with regard to literacy rates. The
analysis reveals that the female literacy has seen a positive gain to that of male literacy rates over the period
2001-2011. No doubt the percentage of regional and gender gap across districts over the period 2001-2011
has reduced, but the percentage of reduction is lesser. The inter-district variations in terms of gender and
regional perspectives have seen a decline over the period 2001-2011. This article ends up with the conclusion
that education in the state should be provided by the Government to more and more people irrespective of
any gender, any region, any caste or creed or any religion with an objective of universalizing literacy rates. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Mohammed Ashfaq Ahmed AND P.M.
