Adult literacy stands for education for every individual above the age of 21. The main objective of Adult Literacy is to make education available to every adult in India, in the most inaccessible and socially unreachable areas of society. Literacy gives every adult the ability to read, write, do basic everyday math, and survive in this competitive world.
