THE UGLY TRUTH

Here i would love to talk with statistics and figures and please don't mind if you feel its irritating and if you think its worth sharing and worth thinking about please just think for a minute or two and at least do something or start supporting which is something worth it . INDIA considered as the next god damn superpower in almost all the articles we read ..we feel proud after reading these kind of things and kind of wait for the 2020 to come and after an hour or so not even bother to think and care about. We the people are just laid back douche-bags at times nothing more than that.
We say India will be the superpower by the year 2020 or some say by 2030 but right now it seems just a dream for me. Personally i don't think we are doing enough or even the government is doing enough to fulfill the dream.


Lets talk about literacy in India we say 72% of our population is literate according to 2011 census and according to constitution literacy is defined for a person if he is able to read and write and that is fair enough..While these figures are just fair enough , the picture gets worse when one counts the real literacy attainment of people classifies as literate.

“A study by ORG-CSR (2003) conducted in rural villages across five states—Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, and Gujarat—confirms the low skill attainment levels of many literates in India. To share some key findings on reading, print awareness, writing, and functional aspects of ability with the written word in Hindi: 68.2% perceived themselves to be literate.

1. Based on their reading of an extremely simple paragraph from textbooks at 2nd to 3rd grade level, the field surveyors classified the sample as: 12% who can read with ease, 36.3% who made mistakes or read with a range of reading difficulties, and 51.7% who could not read at all.
2. Faced with a square block of Hindi text printed centered on a square piece of paper with no other graphical indicators of beginning, ending, or page orientation, 37.4% could not hold the printed matter in the proper orientation for reading. After this was shown (or known), 42.5% could not point to the end of text. Half the sample could not move their finger to delineate the left to right direction of print and a nearly equal proportion could not move from the end of one line to the beginning
   of the next line immediately below.
3. Only 37.5% could write their full name correctly, 15.1% could write it partially or with mistakes, and 47.4% could not write it at all.
4. Reading the bus board, one of the most common encounters with print in village life, was, by their own admission, not possible for 51.9%. Self-reports on other functional aspects inform us that 56% could not read a newspaper, 54.8% could not read le tters, and 56.7% could not write a letter themselves.

This is the state of the literacy in India and i will keep on posting issues in a series....believe it or not the fact is only the cities are growing and its just made up things that India is developing.
