Definition
For the purpose of the survey literacy was defined as the ability to read and write a simple message.

A person who is capable of reading only his own name or numbers or can read, but not write and vice versa is not considered literate. The adult literacy rate is defined as the percentage of persons 15 years old and over who could read and write a simple message in any language from the total population 15 years old and over.
