Himachal Pradesh Achieves Remarkable Literacy Milestone

Himachal Pradesh has achieved a remarkable literacy rate of 99.55%, making it the second-most literate state in India. This milestone, recognized on International Literacy Day, reflects the state's commitment to education through initiatives like the New India Literacy Programme. With a target of 100% literacy by 2026-27, the state is focusing on integrating non-literate adults into formal education and enhancing digital literacy. The impressive results from the Foundational Literacy and Numeracy Assessment Test further underscore the progress made. As Himachal Pradesh approaches its goal, the emphasis is shifting towards sustaining these gains and expanding learning opportunities.
