Nipun Lakshay

As per the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the highest priority for the school education system is to achieve universal acquisition of foundational literacy and numeracy skills at primary level by 2025. Foundational learning is the basis of all future learning for a child. Not achieving basic foundational skills of being able to read with comprehension, writing and doing basic mathematics operations, leaves the child unprepared for the complexities of the curriculum beyond grade III. So far, following major initiatives have been taken under NIPUN Bharat Mission-

Constitution of National Steering Committee for the implementation of NIPUN Bharat Mission
Development of Vidya Pravesh Guidelines and Module for Grade I
Launch of NISHTHA-FLN for teachers and school heads of preschool to Grade V
Launch of NISHTHA ECCE for-master trainers/ resource persons for training of preschool teachers/Anganwadi workers
Conduct of Foundational Learning Study (FLS)
Creation of DIKSHA FLN portal for availability of FLN resources
Conduct of 100 Days Reading Campaign
Development of Guidelines for Parent Participation in Home-based Learning during School Closure and Beyond
Dvelopment of Guidelines for Community Engagement in Foundational Learning; Training of Academic Task Force (ATF) and District Task Force Members (DTFs)
National Conference on Initiatives in Foundational Learning: Voices from the Ground to exchange best practices, share status and understand challenges
Continuous tracking and monitoring (monthly, quarterly, annually) of the mission implementation in all the states and UTs.
