Female Literacy Rate in India

World Population Day:
July 11 is observed as World Population Day. The objective is to raise awareness about global population issues. The event is observed every year through activities that address the different factors impacting the rapid increase in population. The first step taken towards establishing World Population Day was made in 1989 by the governing council of the United Nations Development Programme. It was inspired by public interest in the Five Billion Day that was celebrated on July 11 1987. The theme for World Population Day 2009 is 'Fight Poverty: Educate Girls'. This year's World Population Day calls for investments in education and health for women and the girl child.
Advantages of girl education:
SIXTY PER cent of the world's illiterate children are female. Three-quarters of the children who do not attend school are girls. Educating the girl child not only provides a boost to the factors related to social development, but many more other factors associated with cultural and economic development. The education of women and girls is closely tied to good health and socio-economic growth. In many developing countries, women and girls do not get the support they need for health services and access to socio-economic assistance.
  1. Economic Productivity
  2. Social Development
  3. Social and economic understanding
  4. Intergenerational Education
  5. Sustainability of Developmental Efforts
Socio environmental impact of increase in population :
  • Depletion of natural land as cities grow larger
  • Drop in availability of natural resourses
  • Increase in poverty
  • Unemployment
  • Atmosphere hurt by burning fossil fuels
  • Endangered animal species getting extinct
  • Creating pressure on limited natural recourses
  • Increase in illiteracy rate
  • Food scarcity
  • Chronic fresh water shortage
  • Disappearing open space
  • Crowded housing
  • Air pollution due to increase in traffic and industries

There are many reasons for this alarming situation -illiteracy ,ignorance about preventive measures ,orthodox communities who believe family planning is against the will of God and people who just can't afford prevention (sex workers).It is a huge burden on the infrastructure of the country and leads to all the above mentioned problems.I have two children and I expect others to be responsible too.

That's right! This is really a big issue that we don't pay enough attention to. I think countries like India, China and such countries with a huge number of population should make greater efforts. Not only for the world's benifits, but also for their own. Teaching people in general and girls in particular is a good solution for this problem. However, some families dont even have access to clean water or food. Therefor, I think we should begin with those who have never heard of the UN or anything outside the place they live in...
