National Literacy Mission
Since the launch of Saakshar Bharat, the new variant of the National Literacy Mission, in September 2009, the Mission has been sanctioned in 372 districts and its functioning is reviewed periodically. As per the recent review held in November 2012, the functioning of the programme in Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh has been found to be below par.
The Planning Commission has recommended that the mandate of existing programme structures, including the National Literacy Mission Authority at the apex level, the State Literacy Mission Authorities at the State level and the Lok Shiksha Samitis at the District, Block and the Gram Panchayat levels, as well as the resource support bodies, would be remodeled, strengthened and aligned to lifelong learning and literacy. In addition, the active involvement of public authorities at all administrative levels, civil society, the private sector, community and adult learners’ organisations in the development, implementation & evaluation of adult learning & education programmes would be obtained.
The time by which 100 percent literacy is likely to be achieved is not fixed.

Out of these, 3,500 schools are to be set up in educationally backward blocks (EBBs) through State/UT Governments and the remaining 2,500 schools are to be set up under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode in blocks which are not educationally backward.
