I have been trying to get my hands on one of the most talked about visualization tools in the market these days. Visualization is all about perceiving data , I thought it would be interesting if I could blend my learning along with getting a perspective on data which is relevant to people of India and which will help us understand the Indian demographics better.
In order to achieve this objective I tried to look at the data from the Census carried out by government of India every decade.For my analysis this time around I looked at India's literacy rate in all its states as reported by 2001 & 2011 Census.It would be interesting to see how India is slowly getting converted from a mostly illiterate country to a mostly literate nation.This change in the last decade is eventually going to ensure that we will be the World's largest literate workforce by 2021.
Since this data is geographical in nature and I have been fascinated by all those Map based visualizations which experts provide nowadays, I tried to create my first Map based visualizations to analyse this data.
The visualizations below show India's literacy rate in 2001 & 2011.Notice the improvement and also the states which are marching forward after the country was armed with RTE(Right to Education ).RTE will ensure more literacy by the time we reach the next census
Literacy rate in 2001
See the glorious improvement in 2011
As you could see now states like Maharashtra Haryana Tamil Nadu & the north eastern states are now giving Kerala a run for its money :-)
Finally it was fun plotting India's map.Gave me a sense of satisfaction & pride.One thing that was off was that Tableau by default does not show POK as part of India.However they have managed to keep all parties happy by letting you see a map that would satisfy your country's borders.If you tweak the locale settings then you can manage to see entire Kashmir as part of India.
Signing off for now...will target demonstrating another fun aspect of Tableau visualizations in my next blog.
