ZEOs to initiate mobilization of illiterate adults: DDC 8/24/2016 11:55:31 PM Early Times Report RAMBAN, Aug 24: District Development Commissioner (DDC) Ramban Modammad Aijaz convened a meeting of officers to review the performances under Saakshar Bharat Mission (SBM), a centrally sponsored scheme started by Government of India for educating illiterate adults under the age group 15-35 years. The DDC said that "literacy", under this mission means not only learning how to read, write and count but also helping people understand why they are deprived and helping them move towards change. He said adults under this initiative become capable of reading and writing which is very important in the present era in order to deal with days to days matters. The DDC was apprised by the officers about different issues and achievements made by the department during the period under the scheme. It was informed that 171 Preraks are working in 114 functional adult centres in the entire district with the enrolled strength of 7455 illiterate adults. The DDC stressed on mass level awareness camps, community mobilisation programmes, public interaction meets and campaigns by the school level, Zone level and district level education officers and officials in order to bring the illiterate adults specifically the women close to this education mission besides ensuring them skill development trainings.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
