October 17 , 2026 15 hrs 0 min 25 0

Lakshadweep was declared a 100% literate Union Territory by Administrator Praful Patel at Kavaratti.
The achievement was recorded under ULLAS (Understanding of Lifelong Learning for All in Society) – Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme for adult education.
All 1,113 identified adult non-literate learners cleared the Foundational Literacy and Numeracy Assessment Test (FLNAT).
ULLAS targets adults aged 15 years and above who missed formal schooling and promotes basic literacy, numeracy and critical life skills.
Unlike the Census of India’s conventional literacy measure for people aged 7 and above, this achievement is based on the assessment of eligible learners identified under ULLAS.
