segments of the society. It also aims at reducing gender gap in literacy. It will
cover all adults in the age group of 15 years and beyond, though its Primary
focus will be on women. Its coverage is the adult education of female, SCs, STs
and minorities. The Saakshar Bharat Programme was launched in Meghalaya
