Education is a foundation
for human fulfilment, sustainable development of an individual to become a
responsible global citizenship. The growing importance of the knowledge economy
has profound implications for the role of education as a determinant of
economic growth. Recognizing the importance and interdependence of all
education levels and delivery modes, whether formal or non-formal, Government
of Rajasthan promotes a holistic approach to education to foster balanced
development of education systems that respond to a range of learning needs. The
census study of 2011 revealed that literacy rate of Rajasthan has witnessed a
steep rise, to 67.06% against 38.55% and 60.41% during the years 1991 and 2001
respectively.
