520			_aDisparities in computer literacy pose a significant hurdle for individuals belonging to marginalised caste communities, women and girls, limiting their access to the labour market in the information age. This paper explores the prevalence of computer literacy among individuals aged 15 years and above using the National Sample Survey 78th round (2020–21). The results reveal a complicated picture of social hierarchies, regional disparities and gender inequalities shaping computer literacy in India. This situation has the potential to exacerbate existing gender and caste inequalities in India and give rise to new forms of digital inequality in the country. Community-level measures requisite for computer literacy are needed to improve the social capital of marginalised groups. – Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2024/31/special-articles/inequalities-computer-literacy-india.html
