Literacy campaign from Wednesday

The government is undertaking a nationwide literacy campaign beginning Wednesday (January 14) to make 1.2 million illiterate people literate.

The campaign will be carried out in 59 districts of the country.

The meeting chaired by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda,' Monday, decided to seek cooperation from all parties, organisations, NGOs and media to make the campaign successful.

Of the 75 districts in total, the campaign has been halted in eight districts due to dispute over transportation of textbooks.

On the other hand, the campaign in mountainous districts will be started after three months. nepalnews.com Jan 13 09
