Has the literacy rate really jumped up?

Hello ravi, Literacy rate is growing slowly and I hope and wish for a 100 % literacy in India. In South literacy rate is really high especially in Kerala (which is 100% literate state). But the situation in North is not encouraging and many children are not going to school and do works for their livelihood. Some kids are even wish to join the school but they are forcing to do the jobs either by parents or by relatives. Many kids are engaged in begging in the street lights (on red signals), streets and in bus. I have seen that many women are begging with their small kids as a weapon. They are showing the kids and asking money to provide food and milk for the child. I really felt bad on those kids, they never able to go to the school for sure. So a complete liberate India will be a far away dream.

Whats the use of getting literacy rate high when those poor childrens not getting education till. As in rural slums area til child labour happens as those peoples not able to give education to those childrens as their earnings not getting up till. But still there are more improvements in educations im happy to see more females getting good ranks in their studies when compared to males. Female childrens are more motivated by their parents to achieve lot since kerala has highest literacy rate in my country in that also womens are more literate than mens. Im feeling happy if its reach 100% by 2020.
