If a student qualifies in the external examination and does not make the grade at the internal examinations, he/she will have a right of appeal to the Secretary of the Board. viii. In case a student is desirous of improving upon his/her grade. She/he will be able to avail of one more chance for doing so in every semester course. There is no limit to the number of courses one can improve in. ix. The student will be better prepared for the selection/admission tests they may desire to appear for in future. x. While studying a shorter course for the semester examinations, he/she will be able to study more deeply, which in turn will prepare him/her better for life. B. TEACHERS i. With 10% weightage age in GPA allocated to continuous and comprehensive School‐based Evaluation, the provision will empower the teachers. ii. Semesterization will yield self satisfaction to teacher. iii. The system will offer better opportunities for diagnosing the strengths and weaknesses of the students and enable the development of more realistic remedial programmes for helping students to improve their levels of attainment/performance. iv. The ethos and discipline of the school will also improve. v. With the necessity of studying all the year round, the abilities of the students and the result of the schools will also improve. vi. The teachers will also be able to take innovative initiatives for enriching the teaching learning process.

46

vii. As semesterisation requires continuity of work by the teachers, the displacement of teachers will be minimal. C. PARENTS The desire of the parents for realizing their aspirations through their children will stand substantially realized with:‐ i. Students studying all the year round and adding to their basic competencies. ii. Students realizing all round development of personality for squarely meeting unfamiliar situations in life. iii. Students better prepared for taking examinations and thereby fairing better in competitive examinations for admission/selection. D. THE HEAD OF SCHOOLS i.

Haryana has pioneered in introducing this internationally acclaimed and academically advanced system at school level. As the Examination system has changed i.e. two exams are conducted in a year instead of one annual exam, this system has been appreciated by the students and the parents.

LITERACY PROGRAMMES A BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF LITERACY PROGRAMME IN HARYANA A society without literacy loses its meaning and is an obstacle in the way of development. Effective use of human resources is impossible in such a society. Therefore, literacy is an inseparable part of human life. But it is an irony that we still have to struggle to achieve literacy for the entire population. Today struggle against non‐literacy is inevitable. There should be constant efforts till we reach our target. Attempts are manifold in this direction. Our major steps include universalization of primary education, non‐formal education and literacy programmes. The declaration of education as a fundamental right has given an impetus to these efforts. At the dawn of the 20th century India had a literacy rate of 5.4% which has grown to 65.38% at the end of the century. The major achievement came only after independence. Before the launching of the 1st Five Year Plan, the literacy rate was a mere 18.33%. Keeping the objective of rapid growth in view the large country that we are had to be restructured in terms of geo‐political situation after independence. A number of states were carved out of the existing bigger ones on linguistic basis to cater to the needs of entire populace through comparatively smaller territories. Haryana in fact is one such state whose inception took place in 1966. In the Census taken after 5 years of inception of our State i.e. in 1971, the literacy rate was 25.71% and women's literacy rate only 10.32%. Many attempts have been made in Haryana State in this regard and are going on till today. According to the Census of 2001 the literacy rate in Haryana is 67.91% which is marginally higher than the National average of 65.38. This could be possible due to the priority given to the universalization of education and adult education. Especially during the last decade i.e. from 1991 to 2001 increase in literacy rate is 12.1 percentage points. The National Literacy Mission, launched by Rajiv Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, on 5.5.1988 has also played an important role in this remarkable increase of 12.1 percent. The NLM adopted a campaign approach, the success of which rests on the mobilization of society and on securing people’s participation. The term literacy was enlarged to include “Functional” element and the new definition of literacy adopted by NLM embraced all aspects of life like reading writing and numeric skills, empowerment, self reliance, skill development and imbibing social values. The first breakthrough came in Ernakulam district (Kerala). This was followed by district Panipat in Haryana where the literacy campaign was initiated in 1991 and the district got the honour of being the first district to be adopted for total literacy in North India.

The real impact of the campaigns in Haryana is best reflected in the census results of 2001 which coincided with the completion of over a decade of implementation of the literacy campaigns under the NLM. The most significant rise has been in the literacy rates of the marginalized groups like scheduled castes and women. The literacy of scheduled castes has recorded an increase of 16.23 percentage points from 39.28% in 1991 to 55.45% in 2001. Similarly the literacy rate of women has recorded an increase of 15.2 percentage points from 40.5% in 1991 to 55.7% in 2001. There is also narrowing of the gender gap in literacy. Gender gap in literacy, which was 28.63% in 1991, was reduced to 22.8% in 2001. This rise in female literacy rate has been coupled with other significant offshoots that have a noticeable impact on our social life. All these achievements are only due to the campaigns for literacy in Haryana. Even now, we have miles to go for literacy of women among the scheduled castes as their literacy rate is alarmingly low at 34.82%.

but on the basis of general information) where literacy rate is lower than the State average. There are another eight districts, i.e., Bhiwani, Faridabad, Fatehabad, Gurgaon, Hisar, Jind, Kaithal, Sirsa and Mewat (data of Mewat not available but on the basis of general information) which come under the category of below 50 percent literacy rate among rural women. On the other hand we have seen that once opportunity is provided, women come out in large numbers for literacy whatever struggle they have to put up. Involvement of marginalized sections provides broader meaning to the campaign. Due to their participation there are offshoots of the programme that are significant on social grounds. To take an account of the efforts made during the literacy campaigns we have to go through the strengths including offshoots and weaknesses of the efforts made in the name of literacy campaigns. STRENGTHS OF LITERACAY CAMPAIGNS INCLUDING OFFSHOOTS Literacy campaign is meant to impart functional literacy but it also disseminates a ‘basket’ of other socially relevant messages, such as enrolment and retention of children in schools, immunization, propagation of small family norms, promotion of maternity and childcare, women’s equality and empowerment, peace and communal harmony. A remarkable rise in the enrolment of children in schools has been registered in Haryana between the decades 1990‐91 to 2000‐2001 i.e. 12,35,000. The important factor that contributes to this rise is the participation of adult learners in the literacy programme which made them more conscious about the education of their children. This is truer in the case of scheduled caste population whose children come to the Government schools. Women, poor and backward segments of society, and young boys and girls have participated in literacy campaigns with great enthusiasm. These campaigns for the first time have provided an opportunity to the rural youth to engage in dialogue and discussion. Workshops held as a part of the literacy campaigns played the role of a catalyst in this regard. A spirit of voluntarism was ignited in these youths and they were inspired to take literacy classes over a long period of time on a sustained basis. A large number of Kala Jathas (cultural troupes) were active at various times in the district of Rohtak, Sirsa, Jind, Hisar, Karnal and Panipat. In Rohtak alone, 52 Kala Jathas were active, 18 of them being exclusively of girls. The artists developed a keen sense of awareness regarding social issues and in the process they were also able to hone their artistic skills. This was made possible because these artists got the benefit of participating in intensive theatre workshops in which the socio‐cultural context of the literacy campaign as also the artistic aspect was dealt with in detail. The literacy campaign gave rise to discussion, especially among women, of social issues like dowry and education of girls. Enthused by the spirit of the literacy campaign, women took the initiative on several issues like the problems of drinking, eve‐teasing, child marriage, domestic violence against women etc. The neo‐literates are imbibed with thought‐provoking experiences of life. They are, moreover, engaged in socially productive tasks. It is to be noted that in the villages of Haryana, a tendency towards collective effort and initiative is present, though not perhaps tapped for constructive purposes in recent times.

*Due to some technical reasons, the project proposal of district Gurgaon has not been sanctioned. This is the era of Continuing Education in which offshoots, strengths and limitations of literacy programme can be addressed within the new paradigm of Continuing Education programme that is getting an institutional structure. Continuing education envisages evolving a learning society that further implies a process of lifelong learning. It contains the prospects of engaging the people in such a learning process that leads to the involvement of common masses in the task of development of society and the nation. An environment conducive to the propagation of Continuing Education could be evolved by sensitizing large sections of society to engage themselves in the teaching‐learning process. The programme provides effective tools of books, literature, reading material, various trainings, learning by doing programmes, discussions, deliberations, delivering lectures, songs and plays. All these tools are in fact significant for preparing roads to the minds and hearts of the people so that they may be sensitized and indulged towards the socio‐economic and cultural advancement of our society. Thus the programme of Continuing Education paves the way to create a more humane environment that is a pre‐requisite for the involvement of large masses in the process of development of society. In this social churning, segments of people may directly get involved in the ongoing activities of developments while other sections could be motivated to think for a more rational and more humane mode of development. Thus Continuing Education has a direct, indirect and in fact a complex linkage with the development of society as a whole.
