Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
According to Indian Census1991, if above six year people can write and read in any language they called literate. After seventy years of independence from the British literacy rate could not reach satisfactory level especially in rural area. Even Literacy rate does not distribute equally in rural India. Literacy rate of rural women is comparatively in problematic situation. West Bengal’s literacy rate is above the national average, but number of villages in west Bengal are facing problems in respect to female literacy .According 2011 Indian census, National and West Bengal Literacy rate are respectively 74.04% and 76.26% and female literacy are respectively 65.46% and 70.54%. National rural female literacy rate is 58.75%, but same thing in West Bengal is 65.51%. In this study, inequality in rural female literacy of different districts of West Bengal is a main analytical part. This inequality comes from disparity in share of female total population and female literate population of individual village in perspective of whole District. In this context, Purulia, Bankura, Uttar Dinajpur ect. Districts are shown high inequality and Murshidabad, North 24 Parganas, Purba Medinipur, Darjeeling etc. are low in inequality. Low inequality shows less uneven distribution of Rural Female Literacy.
