Adult Literacy Programme

ADULT LITERACY PROGRAMME

ADULT LITERACY PROGRAMME

This program was started on the request of security guards to teach them the basics of English. We have come a long way since then and ALP has been extended to mess workers. We have even expanded the curriculum to make it more relatable to the workers' needs. We now have included basic mathematics and basic knowledge (going cashless, how to fill forms etc ) for the benefit of the workers. Currently, mess workers and canteen workers in Hostels - 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 15 are benefiting from this program.
