Will RTE address India's literacy deficit?

Dr.T.V.Gopalakrishnan , Mumbai , says: RTE by itself cannot wipe out india's literacy deficit.People below poverty line and just above the poverty line cannot think of having any education as hunger needs to be sorted out first.Govt has to be practical and realistic in having policies and their implementation. One cannot preach of literacy when people are hungry and they aspire for some food. Solve the poverty first and then think of education.
