PANAJI: With the help of the community and local panchayats, the coastal state hopes to achieve a 100% literacy rate by December 19, 2025, according to Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant’s statement on Saturday.
Sawant stated at a webinar on Swayampurna Goa on Saturday that the state also aims to cover all farmers under the Kissan Credit Card, Kissan Soil Card, and Kissan Vima Card issued by the central government.
According to the chief minister, Goa wants to achieve a 100% literacy rate by December 19 of the following year.
“I implore the society and every panchayat to strive toward accomplishing this objective. He declared, “No one should be left illiterate.”
Every year, December 19 is observed as State’s Liberation Day to commemorate the country’s 1961 independence from its 450-year-old colonial status. Goa’s literacy rate is 88.70 percent, according to the 2011 census.
“Kerala claims to have achieved 100% literacy, but practically, it does not look like it,” the chief minister stated. According to him, Goa ought to make a sincere effort to achieve 100% literacy.
Talking about the farmers, the chief minister said that all the farmers should be hundred per cent coverage for the central government initiatives like Kissan Credit Card, Kissan Soil Card and Kissan Vima card.
He said that all the panchayats should put up the board specifying the number of farmers in their respective areas.
Sawant hailed Swayampurna mitras (the officers under Swayampurna Goa scheme) for helping to achieve 100 per cent saturation of central government schemes in the state.
