Abstract :
Inequality persists in every sphere of human
society but these inequalities have to be at minimum level
adjustable by the society. Despite several efforts made by
the governments to reduce the inequalities instead of
decreasing income inequalities, they are increasing in the
recent past. Inequalities in literacy by gender and social
category wise are reduced to a greater extent but still they
continue to exist. In equalities in gross enrolment ratios at
school education level almost eliminated but SCs dropout
rate is much less than STs and others. In equalities in
learning levels do exist at school education level between
gender, social category, rural-urban and subject wise.
Gross enrolment ratios at higher education level
Telangana state is doing far better than all India ratios, in
equalities in gender are reduced significantly in fact SCs
girls GER is higher than boys and also other social
categories too. Equity in financing of education among
social categories and different levels of education reduced
but still exists. After the formation of the Telangana state
the government spending has increased substantially in
every sector of the economy and education also received
increased funding. But these increased funding is not
commensurate with increasing demand. Therefore, the
government has to increase government spending
substantially to increase the human capital and incomes
of the people by providing quality of education to reduce
all kinds’ inequalities in education and society. The
present paper is divided into five sections. First section
deals with how inequalities are exist in the present society.
Inequalities in literacy, Gross Domestic Product (GDP),
enrolment, dropout at school level and higher education
are presented in section two and in section three analyzed
inequalities in learning by gender, social groups and
rural-urban. In section four examined inequalities in
financing of education by different levels of education and
social groups and summary and conclusions are made in
last section.
