All the resources shall be provided digitally for easy access to registered volunteers through easily accessible digital modes like TV, radio, cell phone-based free, open-source apps and portals.

The scheme will cover non-literates of the age of 15 years and above in all states and union territories. The target for Foundational Literacy and Numeracy for financial years 2022-27 is 5 crore learners using the Online Teaching, Learning and Assessment System (OTLAS) in collaboration with National Informatics Centre, NCERT and NIOS in which a learner may register him/herself with essential information like name, date of birth, gender, Aadhaar number and mobile number.

The estimated total outlay of “New India Literacy Programme” is Rs 1037.90 crore which includes the Central share of Rs 700 crore and the state share of Rs 337.90 crore respectively for 2022-27.
