The government ads, campaigns, and programs are being helped to spread awareness amongst people about the importance of literacy. It was also helpful for an increase in the rate of female literacy. On another part, the government has made strict rules and rights to increase female equality rights. These reforms in India lead the literacy rate has shown a significant rise in the past ten years. Women's education is still in very disgraceful condition as the population of literate women is still balanced around $65$ % of the total population of the country. The percentage of literate women in India was just $9$ % in the year $1951$. But now we look on to the rate there was a high increase in the literacy of females.
