National Literacy Mission (NLM) is the programme launched by govt. of India in the year 1988. The main objective of the mission was to educate the adults in the age group of 15-35 years. NLM is the separate wing of Ministry of Human Resource and Development which is completely dedicated in educating the rural India. Initially there used to be two programs under this mission. One was “complete literacy” and other was “post literacy”, both had their own value in the mission. But, in the year 1999 the mission was remodeled and one single campaign was launched as NLM. Now, the same mission is active by the name Saakshar Bharat Programme (SBP). Since then till now India has reached far away and today the result of such initiative in the past is that Kerala has 100% literacy rate and even many Indian villages, cities and states are raising their literacy graph rapidly.
Benefits of National Literacy Mission:
- The design of the programme let the mission target two different types of people. One with no literacy by educating them like to know reading & writing.
- The other part is to give direction to rest population who are educated but cannot utilize it.
- The team is well dedicated and with educating not only they are making rural people reliable but also making them enough confident to move ahead in their life using literacy.
- The biggest benefit of NLM is the literacy rate by which India responded. Now, Kerala is the state with 100% literacy the state where the first NLM practice was carried out.
