What is Ullas Scheme 2024?
Union government has launched a Centrally Sponsored Scheme called New India Literacy Programme (NILP) to cover all the aspects of Education for All. It is popularly known as Ullas Scheme. Full form of Ullas is Understanding of Lifelong Learning for All in Society. ULLAS – Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram, also known as NILP, is a centrally sponsored initiative that aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. It aims to empower adults aged 15 and above from all backgrounds who missed formal schooling, helping them integrate into society and contribute to the nation’s growth.
The Ullas programme focuses on imparting functional literacy including reading, writing, and numeracy skills, and enriches learners with critical life skills, fostering lifelong learning. Implemented through volunteerism, ULLAS promotes social responsibility and a sense of duty “Kartavya Bodh”, encouraging learners to access educational content in regional languages via the DIKSHA Portal and the ULLAS Mobile App/Portal.
Certificates awarded to learners and volunteer teachers further boost confidence and motivation, driving continuous progress. Government of India has approved the Ullas scheme for implementation during FYs 2022-2027.
