Tripura to be fully literate by August this year

The Tripura State Literacy Mission (TSLM) has embarked on making the state free from illiteracy by August this year, officials said 4 May. The decision was made at a high level meeting of the TSLM at Khumulwung 3 May. "We could not make vigorous literacy drive in rural and hilly areas due to insurgency which thrived for about three decades, but with the insurgency on the wane we are chasing our target," officials said.
