To Study the Attitude of Teachers and Parents of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya and Government Upper Primary Schools in Changlang and East Siang Districts of Arunachal Pradesh - A Comparative Study

An attitude represents an individual degree of like and dislike towards an item, opinion, person or event. As per the census of 2011 the girls literacy rate is 65.46 % and boys literacy rate is 82.12 in India and 59.57 % and 73.69 % in Arunachal Pradesh. From the above figure it is very clear that girl childs still lag behind the boy child in terms of literacy. This may be because of the influences of patriarchal society, where the male is given more preference.
