Athulyam education program

Kerala Government’s ‘Athulyam‘, a literacy program which was carried out in two phases after being launched in March 2013. The program aimed at educating those who had been unable to complete Primary education up to the fourth standard. ‘Athulyam’ team focused on the deprived sections like financially weak, scheduled caste, scheduled tribe, physically and mentally disabled among others.

Kerala has become the first state in the country to achieve the total primary education. This has been achieved through the primary education equivalency drive of the state literacy mission ‘Athulyam’. The equivalency programs have proved a huge success and the ultimate objective is to achieve total Plus-Two education in the state,” education minister P K Abdu Rabb said on Monday.
