List of Indian states and union territories by literacy rate

Updated: 5/20/2026, 7:02:29 PM Wikipedia source

This article documents the literacy rate of states and union territories of the Republic of India. The Indian national census is a key source for literacy data. However, a national census has not been conducted since 2011 in India, thus other data sources have been used since then as a reference.
