Vedanta has launched a mass adult literacy campaign at Niyamgiri Vedanta Nagar to achieve 100% literacy among all the rehabilitated persons in the colony.
The program was launched on January 07, 2009 with eye and ear catching slogans. School Children took the placards in their hands and walked across the Rehabilitation Colony to educate their parents, uncle and aunt about the importance of literacy saying " its never too late to start learning and putting a thumb impression anywhere is a shame". With continuous awareness campaign, the attendance has increased by 45%. The adult learners are provided with books and other kits to become literate.
Very soon the Niyamgiri Vedanta Nagar will be a completely literate rehabilitation colony in Orissa, may be first of its kind in the state.
The Literacy Awareness March was organised by Mr. Shrimukh Agasty. Mrs. Bindu Tandi, Mr. Ananta Nag, Ms. Padmini Sahu, Mr. S.N. Panigrahi and Ms. Sweta Upadhayaya.
