Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Wednesday congratulated the people of Mizoram on being declared India’s first fully literate state under the ULLAS - Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram. In a post on X, Pradhan described the development as “a momentous and proud milestone in the State’s educational journey and also a moment of great pride for the nation.”
He credited the achievement to the “collaborative efforts and resolve of the people and Govt. of Mizoram,” and expressed hope that it would inspire all States and Union Territories to promote inclusive and lifelong learning to realise the vision of Viksit Bharat. The Ministry of Education also took to X to mark the announcement, calling it “a testament to the people’s commitment to education and the tireless efforts of volunteers driving adult literacy.”
The declaration was made during a special function in Aizawl attended by Minister of State for Education and Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Jayant Chaudhary, along with Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma. The recognition came as Mizoram achieved the minimum literacy rate of 95 per cent mandated by the Ministry of Education’s ULLAS programme.
