This meant there were more illiterate people among nonmigrants in 2001 (36.6%). Literacy level among female migrants was higher (44.2%) than among female non-migrants (42%). The proportion of migrants among males having no schooling (12.1%), primary level of education (21.6%), secondary level of schooling (28.4%) and SLC and equivalent (14.1%) appeared lower compared to their female counterparts. However, higher proportion of male migrants than female migrants in certificate and equivalent (11.3% vs. 7.6%), graduate and equivalent (8.9% vs. 3%), and post-graduate and equivalent (3% vs. 0.7 %) indicated that female migrants were highly discriminated in higher education above the SLC 148
level. A comparison between the literacy status of male migrants and non-migrants revealed that higher proportion of male migrants had no schooling (12.1%) than male non-migrants and that higher proportion of male non-migrants had primary (43.1% vs. 21.6%) and secondary level of education (31.3 vs. 28.4%). Migrant males were consistently better off in SLC and above level of education than male non-migrants. A higher proportion of female non-migrants had no schooling (14.7%) than female non-migrants (7.%). However, among non-migrant females, 51.2 per cent had acquired primary level of education compared to 26 per cent among female migrants. Female non-migrants were only one per cent better off than female migrants in secondary level of education (29.5% vs. 28.4%). The position of female migrants was proportionately better than female non-migrants in education above the SLC level. The reason behind this can be examined only by cross tabulating literacy variable with age, duration of stay, ethnicity and other background variables, which is beyond the scope of this chapter. The literacy status and educational attainment of both migrants and non-migrants presented here revealed that a significant discrimination between males and females among both migrants and non-migrants exists in education. The status of women among both migrants and non-migrants has somewhat improved in 2001 compared to earlier decades (See Niraula, 1995).
