| Article Name : | | | DETERMINATION OF BACKWARDNESS LEVELS IN LITERACY IN MEMARI-II BLOCK, BURDWAN DISTRICT, WEST BENGAL | | Author Name : | | | BHASWATI MONDAL | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-1906 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | Literacy is one of the most prerequisite conditions of human development. That is why it has been used as an indicator of Human Development Index and planners have emphasized on different schemes and programmes for development of literacy in every planning year. It reduces the obstacles in life. However widespread illiteracy is not new. It is proved from 2001 census data of Memari-II Block that still more than 1/3rd of population of this block is still far from light of literacy. However this single parameter of illiteracy rate is not enough for calling backwardness in literacy. Other parameters such as gender-gap in literacy, range of literacy in an area are to be taken because in developing countries like India gender discrimination is a normal phenomenon and unequal distribution of the results of social reform are also very important. All these factors collectively denote the level of backwardness in literacy. An attempt has been taken to recover such backwardness level in literacy at intrablock level in Memari-II Block. | | Keywords : | | - backwardness level of literacy,
