A Geographic Study of the Variability of Literacy in the Bogovati River Basin District Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India.

Abstract

 A region's level of socioeconomic development is frequently gauged by its level of literacy. Different levels of literacy frequently reveal the areas in which a society is changing. A measure of human growth, life quality, and fundamental rights is literacy. The goal of this article is to investigate literacy in given catchment areas. The analysis is based on secondary sources of data, primarily gathered from socioeconomic reviews and the district census handbook. An attempt has been made to examine the literacy rate of the entire Bhogavati River basin population in this report. The literacy rate in any region of the world has been given significant weight in the study of people's quality of life. The Radhanagari, Gaganbavada, Panhala, and Karveer tahsils in the Kolhapur district are where the Bhogavati catchment area is located. The Bhogavati river basin had a recorded literacy rate of 74.46 percent. It was observed that male literacy (84.58) was higher than female literacy (62.54) in the given study area.
