Punjab Literacy & Non Formal Basic Education

We are living in an age of globalization, knowledge workers and knowledge societies. Through the expanding frontiers of knowledge, the world is on electronic super highway, witnessing new innovations and inventions everyday. Literacy is the first stepping stone for everything good in the lives of individuals and nations. It is almost a truism that education trampolines economic growth and development. The advancement in science and technology will be a far cry and a dream only without education and knowledge. Without competitive contemporary knowledge, there is every chance that individuals and nation states will be automatically marginalized.



Literacy and Non Formal Basic Education Department (L&NFBED), Government of the Punjab is charged with the statutory responsibility of enhancing literacy rate, promotion of adult literacy and life learning skills. The Department has chalked out the strategy for implementation of the programs and honed the details at policy, strategic, operational and tactical level.
