Welcome to Total-Literacy!
Our mission is to achieve 100 % literacy across India by the year 2025.
Different entities define literacy in different ways
Depending on the exact definition used for measurement, the literacy statistics for a region or state or country will vary. According to the census of 2001, the overall literacy of the Indian population was ~65%, with male literacy being around 75% and female literacy being around 55%. In terms of number of people, around one-third of the world’s illiterate population lives in India.
At TOTAL-LITERACY, our approach is to break down this problem of illiteracy in India into smaller chunks that can then be tackled.
The state of Karnataka is the first state where we are embarking on the implementation of our holistic literacy initiative. In the meanwhile, we are developing action plans for other states. Join us as we work towards a 100% literate India!
