Which of the following Indian states became the third to achieve full functional literacy under the ULLAS - Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram (New India Literacy Programme) in June 2025?
Kerala
Tripura
Gujarat
Assam
Tripura
Tripura becomes the third Indian state to achieve full functional literacy under the ULLAS programme in June 2025.
The ULLAS (Understanding Lifelong Learning for All in Society) initiative, or the Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram, aims to achieve 100 percent literacy in India by 2030 by targeting non-literates aged 15 and above. Tripura achieved this milestone in June 2025, reaching a literacy rate of 95.6 percent, a significant increase from 20.24 percent in 1961. This accomplishment follows Mizoram and Goa, which reached the threshold earlier in the same year. The scheme emphasizes functional literacy, digital and financial skills, and life-long learning.
The ULLAS programme is a centrally sponsored scheme implemented by the Ministry of Education for the period 2022 to 2027. It aligns with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 to promote universal foundational literacy and numeracy across the country.
Tripura's literacy rate: 95.6 percent
Achievement month: June 2025
Sequence: 3rd state/unit to achieve over 95 percent literacy
Baseline: 20.24 percent in 1961
B is correct — Tripura was declared fully literate under the ULLAS programme in June 2025, becoming the third state to cross the 95 percent threshold.
Remember the order of the first five units as 'L-M-G-T-H': Ladakh, Mizoram, Goa, Tripura, and Himachal Pradesh.
