Literacy Status of Rukan Pura
The literacy rate of this village stands at 29.2 percent for the population aged 10 years and above.

The figures reveal one of the most critically alarming educational situations in the region, representing an educational emergency affecting both genders with female literacy facing particularly severe challenges.

Educational Achievement Data
- Primary but below Matric: 55 males and 33 females

The complete absence of any degree holders of either gender represents a total educational void at the tertiary level.
What is most alarming is that out of 624 people aged 10 and above, only 182 individuals have any formal literacy, and none have progressed beyond matric level, indicating severe educational constraints in this settlement.
