National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 lays down the roadmap in school education as a continuum starting with the foundational stage. Realising the criticality of this stage, multiple strategies have been suggested in the policy to be implemented in mission mode. Accordingly, under Samagra Shiksha, a dedicated mission ‘National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy’ (NIPUN Bharat) was launched by the government of India on 5th July 2021. The aim is to ensure that every child in the country attains foundational literacy and numeracy by Grade 3 by 2026-27
