NIPUN Axom- National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy

National Education Policy (NEP) 2020

Recognizing the importance of early learning, the National Education Policy 2020 states that “Our highest priority must be to achieve universal foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) in primary schools and beyond by 2026-27. The rest of the policy will be largely irrelevant for such a large portion of our students if this most basic learning (reading, writing, and arithmetic at the foundational level) is not first achieved.”

In India, schooling is still not equal to learning. Many children get left behind without attaining the most basic skills in primary school - Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN). Insights from ASER 2018 and 2021 reflect the need to focus on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) as the topmost priority for improving student learning outcomes .

About FLN

The Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on NIPUN Bharat

The Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi shared his thoughts on the Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) Mission and focused on the necessity of building a strong foundation for education.
FLN skills enable children to learn more meaningfully in higher classes and the new National Education Policy 2020 targets all the children to acquire FLN skills. In order for children to be able to “Read to Learn” in later stages of their life, it is a must that they first “Learn to Read”. The journey from ‘Learn to Read’ to ‘Read to Learn’ will be fulfilled through Foundational Literacy & Numeracy.
The Honorable Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma on NIPUN Axom

The Honorable Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma requested all the teachers to give immediate attention to NIPUN Axom Mission and implement it with a special focus on fast learning of literacy and numeracy components. He further stated "Our students will perform well only if we take this mission seriously".

The one-day event was attended by the Honorable Education Minister, cabinet ministers, Mission Director of SmSA Assam, 4841 Head Teachers, 145 BMCs, 33 DMCs, teachers and other senior officials of the education department of the state.
The Honorable Education Minister Dr. Ranoj Pegu on NIPUN Axom

The Honorable Home Minister Dr. Ranoj Pegu appreciated the Government’s initiatives to strengthen Foundational Literacy and Numeracy in Assam, as it is the requisite for a child’s education.

The Honorable Home Minister also shared about NIPUN Bharat’s vision to achieve Foundational Literacy & Numeracy (FLN) for every child by the end of Grade 3, by 2026-27. He also urged all stakeholders to support in achieving this vision.

What is FLN ?

It is a child’s ability to read with comprehension, write and solve basic mathematical problems. The national-level FLN mission is a crucial step towards equipping children with these basic skills that will set them up for success in the long run.

Why is FLN important ?

FLN skills are the building blocks of education. Children who fail to attain basic literacy and numeracy skills by grade 3 find it difficult to catch up in later classes and fall behind, creating wide learning gaps.

Evidence shows investing in foundational learning has long-term benefits for improving a child's overall performance.
