The Government of India and non-government organizations are making a lot of efforts to eradicate illiteracy in our country. The effective implementation of total literacy campaigns has contributed towards the substantial increase of neo-literates and semi-literates. But due to lack of immediate post-literacy activities at the grassroot level and due to lack of people's participation in the continuing education centres the neo-literates and semi-literates are again relapsing into illiteracy. The non-enrolment and dropout at primary level and at adult education centres, poor socio-economic conditions are other reasons is leading to the problem of illiteracy in the country.
