Tripura declared fully literate under the ULLAS

Tripura was declared fully literate on June 23 under the ULLAS – Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram (New India Literacy Programme), a centrally sponsored scheme implemented from 2022 to 2027.

Tripura has become the third state in the country—after Mizoram and Goa—to achieve full literacy, with the literacy rate soaring to 95.6%, a remarkable leap from just 20.24% in 1961.

The ULLAS scheme, aligned with NEP 2020, targets adults (aged 15 years and above) who can’t go to school.

Tripura became one of the few states in India to be recognized as fully literate as per the nationally prescribed benchmark of 95% literacy among individuals aged 15 years and above.

This achievement has been made possible through the tireless efforts of lakhs of volunteer teachers, learners, community leaders, and education functionaries, all contributing to the vision of a Fully Literate Bharat.
