Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Literacy among the people is not essential for economic development. Literacy is highly necessary for a country to develop economically and in terms of human resources. Literate people can indulge in skilled labour, thereby providing more sophisticated facilities. Literacy helps in every sector of work as the more literate a person is the more variety of work they can undertake. Illiteracy proves dangerous as illiterate people cannot work in skilled jobs and easily be deceived and exploited in the marketplace. Literate people can only fulfil the shortage of skilled workers in India.
Thus, The correct statement would be that literacy among people is essential for economic development.
