As per 2001 census, the literacy rate was 81% and was marginally less than the state‟s urban average.<br />

The sex ratio for Krishnagiri at 989 is slightly higher than the state average of 982 (as per Census<br />

2001). It can be observed from historical census data of the town that the sex ratio has been following<br />

a downward parabolic path. It decreased to 968 (1981) before increasing to 989 (2001). This can be<br />

partly also attributed to migration of male population from the town in the past decade that has<br />

increased the number of females per thousand males.<br />
