National Literacy Mission

The National Literacy Mission (NLM) is an initiative launched by the Government of India in 1988 aimed at promoting literacy among adults and marginalized groups. Its primary goal is to reduce illiteracy levels, increase educational awareness, and empower individuals through skill development. The mission focuses on various programs, including adult education and vocational training, making learning accessible to all, especially in rural areas. By fostering a literate society, the NLM strives to enhance social and economic development in India, ensuring that everyone can participate fully in society.
