Society has evolved different systems for transmission of education or knowledge (stored experiences) e.g. formal education system, non-formal education system and informal education system. Literacy programme comes under the umbrella of non-formal education system, wherein all those persons are covered who could not acquire formal education due to different reasons in their early age. This is a flexible system of education based on needs, interests and time available with the target population. In fact, acquisition of education or literacy enhances self-esteem, general well being, sustainable livelihood and empowerment of a person. Literacy, in particular, enables women to become aware of their societal and legal rights, acquire a decisive role in the family and society and be active partners in the process of development and social change.
