The history of International Literacy Day dates back to 8 September 1967, whenย UNESCOย established the day to promote literacy on a global level.

The idea behind celebrating this day was to make quality education accessible to everyone irrespective of gender, caste, sex, and age.

Atย India Literacy Project, we do just that. We help improve the quality of education in government schools across India with our various initiatives:
