National Literacy Mission Programme Information

'National Literacy Mission'

In India, according to the 'National Literacy Mission', if a person can read and write his name, he is considered literate. In fact, the 'National Literacy Mission' was started in 1988 to make 75% of the people between the ages of 15 and 55 work literate by 2007 and to increase the percentage of  literate people in the census conducted from time to time. But in today's world, it is wrong to call a person literate on the basis of such knowledge.

National Literacy Mission Programme

                  In the past, illiterate people were cheated on a large scale. Mainly from lenders. Taking advantage of the illiteracy of such people, a large amount of land and financial assets were looted from them by taking their fingerprints.

Later, the Government imposed restrictions on moneylenders and curbed such practices. Even so, illiteracy has hampered the growth of such a society. Although many avenues of progress were open in the pragmatic world, such an illiterate society became entangled in traditional practices, thus hampering their path to economic progress. Child labor, juvenile delinquency, illiteracy have led to an increase in the number of children begging on the streets. 

"If a woman learns, the whole family learns and becomes well-educated." That is what Jyotiba Phule had said. But in the course of time, his thoughts did not last long. Even today, the proportion of women in illiteracy is significant. Due to illiterate parents, family welfare, growing population, unemployment, superstition and many other things are increasing which are hindering the progress of other societies. India, which is moving towards a superpower, is draining the country's power.

                   Children have a high level of awareness. These same children, if given the proper shape by literacy, will brighten their own futures as well as the country's.

While 'farmer suicides' are the talk of the town, an educated literate farmer uses his resourcefulness and expertise to come up with alternate solutions and looks to be standing on his own. When a well-educated family takes their sick child to the doctor, they never choose a misdirected individual or believe in superstitions. A girl from a poor family that has been impoverished for years is now able to live independently, and her family is no longer impoverished. One or more such examples can be found all around us. Literacy is the only thing that allowed all of this to happen

 Literacy Campaigns

                  Today, the Government has launched literacy campaigns not only for children but also for women and seniors. Village schools are being set up. Fee-waiver schemes are being implemented for Girls' Education. If the conditions at home are poor, night schools have been established to teach Children who working hard during the Day.

 "If you read, you will read," it is said. It is not only the government's mission to eliminate illiteracy; it is also the responsibility of literate individuals like ourselves.

The Government has taken a step forward in this literacy campaign. The illiterate community needs to take two steps forward, but at the same time it needs to convince the illiterate community around us of the importance of literacy, to make them literate.

 Illiteracy is an obstacle to the progress of states and Country the Government is working to remove it. The Central Government has enacted the Education for All Act. We will take an oath to make the state one hundred percent literate in the future by strictly implementing it.
