Abstract
Haryana is a State with high gender disparity in literacy. Standard
Literacy rate in Haryana for Urban area was 83.14% where male literacy rate was
88.63% whereas female literacy stands at 65.98%. The present study is an
attempt to find out the gender disparity in literacy at district level in
Haryana. The study is based upon Sopher’s method to calculate disparity in
literacy. The study confirms the presence of disparities across the districts
of the state. Few districts like Panchkula, Yamunanagar, Ambala, Kurukshetra and
Rewari have turned out to be the best performers while some districts like
Mewat, Mahendergarh, Palwal and Rewari have been identified to lag behind in
the spread of educational facilities/ performance.
