AGE COMPOSITION
LITERACY RATES
Literacy in India is key for socio-economic progress, and the Indian
literacy rate grew to 74.04% in 2011 from 12% at the end of British
rule in 1947.Although this was a greater than six fold improvement,
the level is well below the world average literacy rate of 84%, and of
all nations, India currently has the
largest illiterate population. Despite government programmers,
India's literacy rate increased only "sluggishly," and a 1990 study
estimated that it would take until 2060 for India to achieve universal
literacy at then-current rate of progress.
Occupational structure
Primary activities includes agriculture , animal
husbandry etc. secondary activities includes
manufacturing industries building etc. tertiary
activities include transport , commerce etc.
Health is an important component of
population composition which affects the
process of development . Sustained efforts
of government programmers have
registered significant improvement in the
health condition of the Indian population .
Death rates have declined from 25 per 1000
population in 1951 to 8.1 per1000 in 2001.
Recognizing that the planning of families would improve
individual health and welfare , the government of India
initiated the comprehensive family planning programme
in 1952. it has sought to promote responsible and
planned parenthood on a voluntary basis .
