A Report on The Evaluation of National Adult Education Programme in Orissa 1986

Abstract

From Introduction: Eradication of mass illiteracy is of vital importance in country like India where the people are steeped in superstitions and conventions which have a consequential adverse effect on the overall development of the individual and the society as a whole. Education is considered to be a powerful tool for bringing about radical changes in the social economic, cultural and political life of the people. Since mass iliteracy has been one of the major constraints in the process, in order to remove it and make the illiterate adults literate and educated about the latest developmental strategy, a National Programme for education of illiterate adults has been undertaken.
