Concept:Tripura became the third Indian state/Union Territory to achieve full functional literacy under the ULLAS - Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram in June 2025.
Explanation:In June 2025, Tripura achieved the milestone of becoming the third state/UT in India to reach full functional literacy under this programme.
This status was reached after a large number of non-literate citizens passed the Foundational Literacy and Numeracy Assessment Test (FLNAT).
FLNAT checks basic reading, writing, and arithmetic skills.
Before Tripura, Ladakh was the first Union Territory to achieve this status under the ULLAS initiative.
Tripura succeeded through strong community participation and the Jan Jan Sakshar campaign, using localised learning modules.
The New India Literacy Programme (NILP) aims to cover 5 crore non-literates aged 15 years and above.
ULLAS stands for Understanding Lifelong Learning for All in Society, a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Education.
The programme is implemented for FY 2022-2027 with a financial outlay of about ₹1037.90 crore.
Its five key components are Foundational Literacy, Critical Life Skills, Vocational Skills, Basic Education, and Continuing Education.
Volunteers, called Vixit Bharat Volunteers, teach non-literates, and progress is tracked through the ULLAS Mobile App and digital portal.
