Directorate of Adult Education in India stemmed from National Fundamental Education Centre (NFEC) that was established by the Indian government back in 1956. Later, it came to be known by the name Department of Adult Education and formed a part of the National Institute of Education under NCERT. The government promoted adult education and as it saw a considerable increase in the educational activities the department shifted from NCERT and formed a separate entity.
Illiteracy is a major problem in our country and the concept of adult education has been introduced to curb this issue to some extent. Any adult who was deprived of education during his early life and feels the need for seeking basic or vocational education can enrol for the adult education program. A number of programs have been initiated to promote adult education for those who have crossed the age of formal education. National Literacy Mission (NLM) launched in the year 1988 is the most prominent of them all.
