The Ministry of Education in India has launched a spirited campaign to promote education and community involvement through its “Literacy Week” celebration. Running from September 1st to 8th, 2023, the event is a prelude to the grand finale on September 8th, recognized globally as International Literacy Day.
The Department of School Education and Literacy (DoSEL), under the guidance of the Ministry of Education, is spearheading the “Literacy Week” initiative. With a resolute mission to create a fully literate India, the event seeks to ignite enthusiasm and participation among citizens for the ULLAS-Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram – a program aimed at enhancing literacy rates across the nation.
“The Ministry of Education encourages individuals from all walks of life to join hands in this noble endeavor. By raising awareness about ULLAS, the initiative aspires to instill a sense of duty toward eradicating illiteracy and nurturing community involvement. The goal is to empower every citizen to contribute to the vision of a fully literate India”.
As the nation gears up to observe “Literacy Week,” schools, colleges, educational institutions, and community centers are organizing events, workshops, and campaigns to spread awareness about the importance of education. “Literacy Week” serves as a reminder that education is not only a fundamental right but also a key catalyst for national development and progress.
The grand culmination of “Literacy Week” on International Literacy Day, September 8th, is a testament to India’s commitment to literacy and education. The Ministry of Education invites one and all to participate actively in this meaningful initiative and help pave the way for a brighter and more educated future for the country.
