estimated to be over 5 crore in number have not attained foundational
literacy and numeracy i.e. the ability to read and comprehend basic text
and the ability to carry out basic addition and subtraction with Indian
numerals.
Why it is essential?

and community well-being.

more educational and employment opportunities so that people are able
to pull themselves out of poverty and chronic underemployment.
