The ceremony included the felicitation of neo-literates and volunteer teachers and the launch of the 2023 Annual Achievement Report of the school department. dignitaries visited the ULLAS Mela.

While addressing the event, Dr Mishra motivated the new learners and volunteers to continue on the path of learning throughout their lives. He said it is the parent’s responsibility to send their children to school. He also exhorted the students to not only look for jobs but also think of creating jobs. Praising Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for introducing the NEP 2020, he said that the policy paves the way for the future growth of the country.
