Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the Understanding of Lifelong Learning for All in Society program on Monday after it expanded education access for adults nationwide. The initiative, launched in 2022 under the National Education Policy 2020, targets rural areas, and women benefit most from the effort. Rural and female literacy rates increased substantially, and India progresses toward meeting the United Nations literacy goals by 2030.
