Yet again, the Nizam Telangana region that was well behind the Kosta
region in the number of graduate students has raced past the coastal regions.
In 1956, for every 10,000 people, there were 19 degree college students in
the Kosta region, whereas there were 10 in the Telangana region. Today, the
situation is reversed. Telangana boasts of 64 degree students for every 10,000
people, surpassing Kosta’s 58..
Professor Jayashankar, in his paper, says, “…after 47 years (since the
state formation) the literacy rate in Telangana continues to be lowest in the
state.” To make his case, Professor Jayashankar presents the 2001 literacy
rates.
Table 3 provides the number of literates in each region.
