Dantan Manav Kalyan Kendra (DMKK) is implementing the Adult Literacy Program across various blocks in Paschim Medinipur and Jhargram districts of West Bengal under Rotary India Literacy Mission (RILM). The initiative aims to empower non-literate adults by enabling them to acquire essential reading, writing, and arithmetic skills.
The program engages Akshar Sathis (community-based teachers), who identify non-literate adults and conduct classes in community centers. Each Akshar Sathi mentors 30-40 learners over a minimum of 60 one-hour sessions, using RILM’s specially designed Adult Literacy Toolkit. These sessions are conducted in accessible community spaces, fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment.
This initiative not only addresses literacy but also encourages social integration and economic self-reliance, empowering individuals to participate in decision-making and community development.
