New Delhi: Today is World Literacy Day. 52nd World Literacy Day is being celebrated worldwide. As such, the literacy rate in India is still low. At present, a large population is illiterate. According to statistics, there are 28 crore uneducated people in the country. According to UNESCO's Global Education Monitoring Report, India will be able to achieve the global target of primary education in 2050, secondary education in 2060 and higher secondary education in 2085. If we independently assess the current literacy rate, then the situation is slightly better.
