The scatterplot depicts the level of female literacy rate relative to the male literacy rate by state. The trend shows that as the male literacy rate increases, the female literacy rate also increases; however, no state in India has a female literacy rate equal to that of the male literacy rate. The blue dotted line depicts the area that the points should fall if the ratio of the literacy rates were equal. However, even the closest state of Mizoram does not reach this threshold.
The line graph, another representation of the relationship between the female and male literacy rates, shows the area between the two across all states and UTs. As seen, the gap only widens as the female literacy rate decreases. Even at the top, where the female literacy rates are the highest, there is a noticeable difference relative to the male literacy rates.
