Sorted higher recorded literacy rate first — a sort order, not a judgement. Literates as a share of persons aged 7 and above, the Census definition. It records who could read and write in 2011, not the quality of schooling. Listed: villages of 500 or more people (a hamlet of a dozen at 100% says little); the rank is the village's place among all ranked villages of India, so numbers are skipped, never changed. Source: Census of India 2011. Methodology →

Ranks are computed from Census of India 2011 figures among villages that report them; ties share a rank; a missing figure means no rank, never zero. “Higher first” is the sort order, not a judgement. How every figure and rank is computed →
