NATIONAL, September 08, 2025: The Department of School Education & Literacy (DoSEL) celebrated International Literacy Day 2025 at the Dr Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi Monday. The theme for this year's celebration was "Promoting Literacy in the Digital Era," highlighting the crucial role of digital technology in developing reading, writing, numeracy and lifelong learning skills.

It was announced that Himachal Pradesh has become the fourth state to achieve full functional literacy joining Tripura, Mizoram and Goa. Ladakh was declared the first Union Territory to achieve full literacy in June 2024. 

To commemorate the occasion and celebrate India's diverse linguistic, cultural and social heritage, the ULLAS Compendium was released. The government also organised the ULLAS Literacy Week 2025 which aimed to register non-literates, volunteers, and neo-learners across all states and Union Territories. 

This celebration reaffirmed India's commitment to achieving a fully literate Bharat and a Viksit Bharat.
