Q1Consider the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R) with reference to the ULLAS Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram: Assertion (A): Sikkim was declared a fully literate state in 2026 well ahead of the national target year of 2027 under the ULLAS Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram. Reason (R): ULLAS launched in 2022 by the Ministry of Education focuses exclusively on school going children in the age group of 6 to 14 years and excludes adult learners. Which of the following is correct?
Assertion is true: Sikkim was declared fully literate in 2026 well ahead of the 2027 national target. Reason is false because ULLAS is meant for non literates aged 15 years and above (not children aged 6-14), and includes adult learners through its five components of Foundational Literacy, Critical Life Skills, Vocational Skills, Basic Education and Continuing Education.
Q2With reference to Sikkim being declared a fully literate State under the ULLAS Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram announced on 28 May 2026, consider the following statements:\n1. Sikkim achieved a literacy rate of 99.82 per cent, qualifying it as a fully literate State under the programme.\n2. The declaration was made at the Seventh Sikkim University Convocation held in Gangtok.\n3. Sikkim became the third State or Union Territory in India to be declared fully literate under ULLAS, after Mizoram and Goa.\nWhich of the statements given above are correct?
Sikkim was declared a fully literate State under the ULLAS Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram on 28 May 2026 after reaching a literacy rate of 99.82 per cent, hence statement 1 is correct. The announcement was made by Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia at the Seventh Sikkim University Convocation in Gangtok, so statement 2 is correct. However, Sikkim became the sixth, not third, State or Union Territory to achieve this status under ULLAS, after Mizoram, Goa, Tripura, Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh, hence statement 3 is incorrect. Therefore the correct answer is 1 and 2 only.
Q3With reference to Sikkim being declared a fully literate state under ULLAS hailed by Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on 28 May 2026, consider the following statements: 1. Sikkim achieved a literacy rate of 99.82 per cent under the Ministry of Education benchmark which considers a state with above 95 per cent literacy as fully literate. 2. Sikkim joined Mizoram, Goa, Tripura, Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh as the sixth state or Union Territory to earn fully literate status under ULLAS launched in 2022. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Both statements are correct. Sikkim achieved 99.82 per cent literacy against the 95 per cent threshold and joined the existing five fully literate states or UTs (Mizoram, Goa, Tripura, Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh) under the ULLAS programme launched in 2022.
