In the first phase of the project, children in Classes I to IV will be equipped with the necessary skills for reading and writing. Titled ‘Samagragunamenma Padhathi’, the project is expected to be rolled out within a month.
Department officials stated that the aim is to ensure the basic reading and writing abilities of the children.

The process of including new areas into the modules is progressing and the project will be launched after making necessary amendments, they said.
