Goa Becomes Fully Literate Under ULLAS Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram
fsjd_icon1 CURRENT AFFAIRS

Description

Goa has been officially recognised as fully literate under the ULLAS Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram, making it the second Indian state to cross the 95% literacy threshold. This accomplishment aligns with India’s commitment to achieving complete literacy by 2030, a key objective outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

Importance Of Achieving Full Literacy

Literacy is a fundamental pillar for social and economic development. It empowers individuals, strengthens democratic participation, and improves access to better healthcare and livelihood opportunities. Goa’s milestone offers an encouraging example for other states working towards enhancing literacy rates.

Overview Of ULLAS Programme

Launched in 2022, the ULLAS (Understanding Lifelong Learning for All in Society) initiative focuses on adult literacy and lifelong learning. The scheme targets individuals aged 15 and above who missed formal schooling. It operates through five major components:

  • Foundational Literacy and Numeracy

  • Basic Education

  • Critical Life Skills

  • Vocational Education

  • Continuing Education

The programme emphasizes inclusivity and relies heavily on community-based volunteer efforts.

Government’s Coordinated Approach

Goa adopted a Whole-of-Government strategy to ensure the programme’s success. Departments such as the Directorate of Panchayats, Municipal Administration, and Social Welfare worked together to identify and engage non-literate residents. This integrated model helped streamline efforts and maximise outreach.

Swayampurna Mitras: The Key Enablers

A major driving force behind the campaign were the Swayampurna Mitras, trained community volunteers. They led awareness drives, supported learners through the literacy process, and helped many attain formal literacy certification. Their grassroots engagement ensured inclusivity and accessibility.

Community Involvement And Volunteerism

The success of the literacy campaign heavily relied on public participation. Local government officials, school heads, and community members played pivotal roles in identifying learners and delivering educational resources. This collective effort helped foster a culture of learning and ownership at the local level.

A National Model For Literacy

Goa’s literacy achievement is a significant step forward in India’s literacy mission. It illustrates the impact of inclusive, people-focused initiatives and supports the Jan-Jan Sakshar movement. The accomplishment echoes the larger vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ‘Viksit Bharat’ roadmap.

Looking Ahead

The ULLAS programme continues its rollout across the country. Inspired by Goa’s model, more states are expected to strengthen their adult education efforts. Sustained commitment to literacy will be essential in fulfilling India’s target of universal literacy by the year 2030.
