A Study on Community Participation in Literacy Campaign (Financed by U.G.C. New Delhi under 9th Five Year Plan) Year 2000-2001

Abstract

From Introduction: In each of the four cycle variety of adult education programme were developed and implemented in different parts of India and under various nomanclature. Though a number of official and non-official agencies were associated with the planning and implementation of these programmes, the source of funding was mainly from the Govt. of India which formulated the policy and designed the programme package. The changes in nomenclature, operational modalities, expansion of programme over the years and shifts in the approach. The main thrust continues to be on basic literacy. If we analyse the above approaches adopted by the GOI, it appears that public/community participation is not satisfactory for this cause. Now it is also realised and observed from the various research reports and programmes of primary education & health etc. that if community will take interest and participate then it is easy to solve the problem.
