Question 48. “In India, literacy rate among women is still low.” Justify the statement. [HOTS]
(a) In India, women generally look after domestic work and are left with no time to get educated mostly in the villages. Therefore the literacy rate is low. (b) Lack of awareness and economic backwardness is another reason for the low literacy rate, (c) Neglect of the child, especially a girl child, is very common. They are not given proper education, nutrition and medical care.
