The Government of India has decided to organise a literacy week from 1st September to 8th September 2023 to celebrate International Literacy Day for generating awareness among all the stakeholders and citizens about the ULLAS- Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram.
The week-long literacy campaign shall enable mass participation to inculcate a sense of Kartavyabodh and Janbhagidari in the nation’s citizens.
This vision would popularise the scheme and help attain the goal of making India fully literate. The literacy week would encompass a spectrum of activities followed by the celebration of International Literacy Day on 8th September 2023. Another objective will be to increase the number of registrations for learners and volunteers on the ULLAS mobile app.
A Centrally Sponsored Scheme ULLAS- Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram on Education for All (erstwhile termed as Adult Education), was approved by Government of India for implementation in alignment with National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
The Scheme has five components:
- Foundational Literacy and Numeracy
- Critical Life Skills
- Basic Education
- Vocational Skills
- Continuing Education.
The logo, tagline-Jan Jan Sakshar and popular name-ULLAS (Understanding of Lifelong Learning for All in Society) of Nav Bharat Saksharta Karyakram was launched by the Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Education Minister on July 29, during the celebration of third anniversary of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
