Abstract	India is the second most populous country in the world by demographics. With a 1.21 billion population and a growth rate of 1.41%, the population will only continue to rise enormously. However, it can be concluded that India's population is very young when the age structure of the country is taken into account. 65% of India's population is in the 15–64 age group, and 30% of the population is under the age of 15. When the literacy rate of India is taken into account, it is 74.04% as per the 2011 census. India's literacy rate was only 14% at the time of independence. Since then, it has increased, but at varying rates in different states, with some like Kerala and Mizoram having rates significantly higher than the national average and bihar having a pitiful rate of 63.8%.The focus of this essay is on the fundamentals of literacy, its significance, the state-by-state projected literacy rate in India in 2022, the causes of India's high rate of illiteracy and the government's actions to speed up the country's educational planning.
