Education in Chhattisgarh

One of the newly formed states in India, Chhattisgarh covers an area of 135,194 km². It was recognized as a state on 1 November 2000. The education scenario in Chhattisgarh is not very remarkable as it lacks proper educational infrastructure. However, the state government has launched several programs for enhancing the academic scenario of the state. The overall growth in the literacy rate has been possible due to the persistent efforts of the state government. According to the 2001 census report, Chhattisgarh had a literacy rate of 65.18% which included male and female literacy rate of 77.86% and 52.40% respectively. Special importance is given to the education of women and students belonging to the underprivileged section of the society. The capital city Raipur is the main center of higher education in Chhattisgarh. It houses some of the most important departments of education in the state.
