what measures govt. has taken to increase literacy rate in India
Answers
Answer:
National Literacy Mission: The aim of this campaign is to impart functional literacy to people in the age group of 35-75 by not only helping them to read, write, and count but also help them understand why they are deprived and how they can drive change for themselves.
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan: One of the most well-documented and heard of literacy campaigns, it was launched in 2001 to drive the enrollment of kids in the age group of 6 - 14 in schools, and ensure that they complete 8 years of schooling.
Mid Day Meal Program: It was the success of this program in Tamil Nadu that prompted the Supreme Court of India's decision to instruct all state governments to provide free lunches in all government-funded schools. Over 120 million students receive these free lunches, making it one of the largest school meal programs in the world.
