    Solution

    Explanation: "The "New India Literacy Programme" (NILP) is a government initiative aimed at promoting literacy and essential life skills among non-literates in India. This centrally sponsored scheme is set to be implemented over a period of five years, starting from the fiscal year 2022-23 and extending until 2026-27. The program has a significant financial outlay of Rs. 1037.90 crore, with Rs. 700.00 crore designated as the central share and Rs. 337.90 crore allocated as the state share. One of the key objectives of NILP is to target a total of 5.00 crore non-literates, primarily focusing on individuals aged 15 years and above. Beneficiaries for the program are identified through a comprehensive door-to-door survey conducted by trained surveyors in various States/Union Territories using a mobile app. Moreover, non-literates can directly register for the scheme through the mobile app, ensuring that they have easy access to the program's benefits. NILP leverages technology for its implementation, making use of online resources and digital tools. The teaching and learning materials and resources are readily available on the DIKSHA platform provided by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), which can be accessed through mobile apps. Additionally, other media, such as television, radio, and community centers (Samajik Chetna Kendra), are also used to disseminate foundational literacy and numeracy. The scheme is open to all non-literates above 15 years of age, ensuring a wide reach for literacy and skill development."
