Abstract: The ULLAS (Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram) initiative represents a significant step toward achieving fully literate India, addressing the challenges outlined in the 2011 Census, which revealed over 25 million non-literate individuals. This article explores the foundational aspects of ULLAS, its alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, and its innovative approach to volunteerism and hybrid learning. By examining the methodologies employed, the objectives set forth, and the impact of the program on literacy rates, this paper aims to highlight the potential of ULLAS as a transformative force to achieve Education for all (Erstwhile Adult Education). This article also reviews relevant literature, discusses the program's implementation strategies, and presents recommendations for future educational policies.
