Literacy in India

Sad to find Arunachal Pradesh is the second lowest in terms of literacy among the Indian states (Wikipedia). Perhaps, this explains why dictatorship in the State Assembly (only one party dominates), only one student union dominates until recently. That also tells why there are few engineers, doctors, teachers, government officials from the state.

Also learned that Tripura State came on the top literate state recently (TOI, August 2013). This was achieved by the active involvement of the government and other community bodies.
