I, along with Minister of State for Education @SanjayDhotreMP, attended a conference organised by @EduMinOfIndia on the occasion of International Literacy Day. #ShikshakParv #InternationalLiteracyDay

I wish to emphasize that #Literacy need not be viewed as an end in itself. In our Sanskrit texts too, it is said ‘यावत्जीवमधीते विप्रः’ which means we should educate ourselves till our last breath. Hence, it should be viewed as the beginning of lifelong learning. #ShikshakParv

Sincere efforts have been made to boost #Literacy in the country over the years, the result of which has been a 73.9% adult literacy rate in 2017-18, the highest-ever the country has ever seen.
#ShikshakParv #InternationalLiteracyDay

Under the leadership of Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji, we have a target of achieving 100% literacy by 2030.

#ShikshakParv #InternationalLiteracyDay

To achieve the aim of 100% Adult #Literacy, #NEP2020 lists essential recommendations such that the New India can witness the साक्षर भारत-आत्मनिर्भर भारत’.

#ShikshakParv #InternationalLiteracyDay

These will be implemented in line with the vision of Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji and help India attain 100% literacy.
