These figures are based on the norms of Unesco
Literacy as defined by UNESCO is given below. [8]
1. A literate person is one who can with understanding both read and write a short simple statement relevant to his everyday life.
2. Literacy is not the simple reading of a word or a set of associated symbols and sounds, but an act of critical understanding of men's situation in the world.
3. Literacy is not an end in itself but a means of personal liberation and development and extending individuals educational efforts involving overall inter-disciplinary responses to concrete problems
4. A literate person is one who has acquired all the essential knowledge and skills which enable him to engage in all those activities in which literacy is required for effective functioning in his group and community and whose attaining in reading, writing and numeracy make it possible to use these skills towards his own and his community's development.
The National Literacy Mission defines literacy as acquiring the skills of reading, writing and arithmetic and the ability to apply them to one's day-to-day life. The achievement of functional literacy implies:
* Self-reliance in 3 R's
* Becoming aware of the causes of deprivation and moving towards amelioration of their condition by participating in the process of development
* Acquiring skills to improve their economic status and general well being
* Imbibing values of national integration, conservation of environment, women's equality, observance of small family norms, etc.
The working definition of literacy in the Indian census since 1991 is as follows:[9]
* "Literacy rate":
The total percentage of the population of an area at a particular time aged seven years or above who can read and write with understanding. Here the denominator is the population aged seven years or more.
* "Crude literacy rate":
The total percentage of the people of an area at a particular time aged seven years or above who can read and write with understanding, taking the total population of the area (including below seven years of age) as the denominator.
