Now Empowering Learners Aged 15 to 85

We are thrilled to announce a landmark development in our journey at Pathshala Educational Trust. What began as a mission to educate children under 15 has now evolved into a broader, more inclusive movement.

With the gracious approval of the MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, Pathshala is now officially permitted to conduct classes for learners aged 15 to 85 years under the visionary Mission ULLAS – New India Literacy Program.

On 21st September 2025, we successfully conducted our first literacy exam under this initiative, marking a new era of lifelong learning and inclusive education.

This milestone reaffirms our belief that education is not bound by age—it is a right, a tool for empowerment, and a pathway to dignity.

Mission ULLAS aligns perfectly with our core values: reaching the unreached, uplifting communities, and transforming lives through knowledge. Whether it's a teenager seeking foundational skills or a senior citizen embracing literacy for the first time, Pathshala is now a home for every learner.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Government of India (GoI) for this recognition and support. This is not just an expansion of our age bracket—it’s an expansion of hope, opportunity, and impact.

Let’s continue building a literate, equitable, and empowered India—one learner at a time.
