Not Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, this state declared as India's first fully literate state, it is…
Chief Minister Lalduhoma announced on Tuesday that Mizoram has become the first fully literate state in India. The declaration was made during a function at Mizoram University (MZU) in the presence of Union Minister of State for Education, Jayant Chaudhary. 'As we celebrate this achievement, we also renew our commitment to sustaining literacy through continuous education, digital access, and vocational skill training,' the CM's Office quoted him as saying in a post on X. 'Let us now aim higher: digital literacy, financial literacy, and entrepreneurial skill for all Mizos,' he added. Chaudhary congratulated the state government and the people for the achievement. 'Today, we proudly declared Mizoram as the first fully literate state under the visionary Ullas – Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram. Congratulations to the people of Mizoram and Hon'ble CM @PuLalduhoma for this achievement,' he posted on X. 'Special thanks to Hon'ble Education Minister Dr. Vanlalthlana for championing this cause. The Chief Minister was gracious in commending the work of previous State Governments as well in the remarkable journey of progress Mizoram has undertaken. May the Northeast continue to lead the way in building a Shikshit, Kushal, and Atmanirbhar Bharat,' he said. As per the 2011 Census, the state had a literacy rate of 91.33 per cent, ranking third in the country. Building on this foundation, the ULLAS — Understanding of Lifelong Learning for All in Society — and Nav Bharat Saksharta Karyakram were implemented to identify and educate the remaining non-literate individuals, officials said. Based on projections from the 2011 census data, surveys were conducted, and 3,026 illiterates were identified. Out of them, 1,692 were found to be potential learners. A total of 292 volunteer teachers, among whom were students, educators, resource persons, and Cluster Resource Centre Coordinators, stepped forward to lead this mission, officials said. The collective efforts, dedication, and community mobilisation have resulted in Mizoram achieving full literacy, they said. (With Inputs From PTI)

Mizoram tops literacy charts, becomes 1st fully literate state
1 2 Aizawl: Mizoram has officially been declared a fully literate state , marking a historic milestone in India's educational journey. Chief minister Lalduhoma made the announcement on Tuesday at Mizoram University Auditorium in Aizawl, alongside Union minister of state for education Jayant Chaudhary. This achievement, realised through the Understanding of Lifelong Learning for All in Society (ULLAS) initiative, makes Mizoram the first state in India to achieve full literacy, surpassing the ministry of education's benchmark of 95%. The state now boasts a 98.2% literacy rate, a significant leap from its 91.33% recorded in the 2011 census. The success stems from the New India Literacy Programme (NILP), which identified 3,026 illiterate people, of whom 1,692 were willing learners. A dedicated team of 292 volunteer teachers, including students, educators, and resource persons, played a crucial role in achieving this milestone. Their commitment reflects the Mizo cultural value of Tlawmngaihna — altruism and selflessness. Chief minister Lalduhoma emphasised that this achievement is not the end but the beginning of a new era of empowerment. The state now aims to expand literacy beyond basic reading and writing, incorporating digital, financial, and entrepreneurial skills to ensure holistic education for all. Mizoram's literacy journey sets a precedent for other states, demonstrating the power of community-driven education and government collaboration. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!
