ABSTRACT:
The most remarkable achievement for any individual is being Literate. Since the population explosion
is taking place at a rapid rate and India is surpassing China to become the most populated nation of the
world, it becomes challenging to ensure that every citizen of India is a literate citizen. The increasing
poverty rate, declining GDP, increasing inflation and decreasing employment rate are factors acting as
obstacles to attain education for many. The 3 R's of basic education i.e. Reading, Writing and
Arithmetic (Literacy) skills should be learnt by almost every citizen of every country. Education and
skill development help people to attain their goals and be prepared for uncertainties of life. “The
Education for All” movement initiated by Government of India is a commitment across nations to
ensure provision of basic knowledge and education to almost all the citizens of India i.e. young
children, the youth of the nation and the adults. Education is not one time learning but it is a life long
journey where you keep on learning skills and talents at different points of time. It is focal point of
development of oneself and the entire nation. According to the Millennium Report, the main aim of
Education for All (EFA) is to have sound and sustainable development. India‟s government also
ensures implementation of this sustainable goal through its sound curriculum of primary, secondary
and elementary education. Therefore, there has been tremendous stress on New National Education
Policy 2020 implementation which focuses on all round development of an individual. However, there
are few hurdles being faced in successful implementation of it. This paper aims to put a light on these
challenges and gives suggestions to overcome these challenges.
