The Indian government recently disclosed to Parliament that the literacy rate among Muslims has shown an improvement, reaching 79.5% in the year 2023-24. However, this rate still falls slightly below the overall rate of 80.9% for all religious communities. Notably, there has been a significant rise in the participation of Muslim women in the workforce, increasing from 15% in 2021-22 to 21.4% in 2023-24, despite experiencing a decline in the previous year. These statistics indicate a positive trend towards improved literacy and employment opportunities for Muslim individuals, particularly women, in India. For more details, please visit Times of India.
