Reality check. Literacy can be in any indian language. A person who has studied till fifth grade may be considered literate.

72 million students enrolled in colleges seems too high.

>Total population 1.06 billion. There were 72 million students enrolled in colleges in 1990. The literacy rate in 1990 was 52%; in 2001 it is 65.4% according to these stats.

You do the math. I probably underestimated.

College enrollment in India is 70+ lakhs (7+ million and not 70+ million). See this:
