2. What is Literacy? A person who is able to sign and able to read and write, in simple sentences is called Literate . The  modern  term's meaning has been expanded to include the ability to use language, numbers, images, computers, and other basic means to understand, communicate, gain useful knowledge and use the dominant symbol systems of a culture.

3. Why is it so important? Today, many children are being classed as ‘digital natives’ – just as comfortable online as they are offline. The internet enables endless educational possibilities, with constantly evolving information streams, however, the vastness of the internet can be a hindrance to those children who cannot effectively sift through and interpret the material presented.  Strong literacy skills are a key tool used when children discern and interpret information, enabling them to  utilize the internet to its full potential and making sure that the inevitable ‘digital footprint’ that children will leave, is one that is safe, appropriate, and reflective of their true self.

Primary Education Programme launched in 1994, has so far opened more than 160,000 new schools, including almost 84,000 alternative schools. The National Literacy Mission launched in 1988 aims at attaining a literacy rate of 75 per cent by 2007. It imparts functional literacy to non-literates in the age group of 15-35 years.

12. Social reformation efforts Participate more and more in literacy programs. Take part in the TEACH INDIA campaign to make the INDIA literate . Don’t avoid child labor near you it may be a case of literacy . Try to teach at least any one child you know is illiterate or cannot afford education help them . Try to give donations and charity for the organizations who want to promote literacy . For Ex : ITC classmate stationeries. Buy those they give one rupee on each product for teaching poor children in INDIA . Make an appeal to the GOVERNMENT that they should make the studies of up to high school compulsory for everyone and every family . Make an appeal to the government that to make the education up to high school free of cost for those who cannot afford education to their children . The government should improve the education facilities in INDIA specially in RURAL AREAS.

13. Conclusion  Literacy is a strong weapon which can root out the social issues like dowry, corruption and child labor. Literate population can contribute manifolds in the economic and social development of a nation. If India wants to be a developed and powerful nation, then literacy is the key. The government should introduce new schemes and policies and should allocate special funds to promote literacy.
