The _______ literacy rates exclude Assam where the Census could not be conducted.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 1981.
The 1981 literacy rates exclude Assam, where the Census could not be conducted. Due to political and administrative issues in Assam at that time, the state’s data was not included in the national literacy statistics for the 1981 Census. This resulted in incomplete data for understanding the overall literacy levels across India during that period.
