By: Shruth & Smith After having assessed the progress at aggregate level in the last chapter, attempt has been made to look at the progress with respect to certain special groups and also at the inter-group disparities of multiple natures. The present chapter devotes on a study of the disparities between (a)rural and urban (b) States (c) Inter-caste (d) Inter-religion (e) Male-female (f) different occupation groups; and (g) Poor and non–poor. NSS data for 2000, which provide detailed information at disaggregate level, has been used.. 8.2 Rural and Urban There are significant disparities in enrolment ratio between rural and urban area. In 2000 the GER for rural and urban area was 5.58% and 21.74% respectively- GER in urban area being four times higher compared with rural area (Table 4.10). The population census came up with the GER of 8.99% for rural area and 24.52% for urban area in 2001 - the GER in rural area being all most three time lower compared with urban area. The EER worked out to 51.1% for rural and 66% for urban area-later being higher by about 15% points. This means only half of the rural boys and girls who complete higher secondary go to higher education which is less by 15% points compared with urban area. 8.3 Inter-State Variation There are considerable inter-state variations in the level of higher education. While the GER at aggregate level is about 10.08%, it is more than national average in State/UTs like Chandigarh (26.24%), Delhi (21.16%), Kerala (18.08%), Goa (17.54%), Pondicherry.( and Maharashtra (14.14%) (Table 4.1(b). By national comparison, the GER is lower than the national average in States/UTs like Lakshadweep (0.34%), D&N Haveli (2.23%), Arunachal Pradesh (2.42%), Sikkim (5.01%), Tripura (5.97%), Bihar (6.16%), West Bengal (6.30%), Meghalaya (07.13%), Mizoram (7.87), Karnataka (7.96%). 8.4 Gender Disparities. The access to higher education is also low for girls as compared with boys. The GER being 12.12% for male and 8% for female. # # # The Shruth & Smith Foundation is an independent, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization committed to work towards resolving enduring problems in social, educational and rural sectors that requires sustained effort and determination.
