National Mission on Education through ICT (NME - ICT)

Abstract Description : Non-Formal Education is flexible, learner oriented, non-authoritarian (Demanding strict obedience to authority) and is built on learner participation. The non-formal programme is a process of sharing, exploring (Examining or discussing in detail), analyzing and judging together with full learner participation. The clientele of non formal education is very different from the clientele of the formal schools. Most of these children belong to the poor class, SC/ST women and labor class. The history of our country shows that there has been denominational (A recognized branch) agencies i.e. ashramas, temples, mosques, jain centres of learning etc. which took active part in education but did not have a fixed curriculum. Despite all efforts by the governments at various, national and international levels, through the adoption of their sound development policies, planning and programmes aiming at eradication of illiteracy, there has been little impact on the lives of people, at this juncture (A point in time) Non-Government Organizations (NGO’s), Voluntary Organizations (VO’s) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can play a vital role in strengthening the literacy level of the clientele.
