The Government of India has formally declared Himachal Pradesh a fully literate state, marking a significant achievement in the nation's educational landscape. The declaration follows comprehensive surveys that confirmed literacy rates across the state have reached 100%.
In a ceremony held in Shimla, officials presented the state with a national honour to acknowledge the sustained efforts of educators, policymakers, and community leaders. The award symbolizes the culmination of years of literacy campaigns and infrastructure development.
