The National Literacy Mission also empowers women of the country by including them into their total literacy campaigns. If one goes by the 2001 census, then it will become clear that percentage of female literacy in the country is 54.16. The literacy campaigns undertaken by NLM not only guides females on how to read and write but also make them aware of the various social issues in the society. Through education earned in campaigns by NLM, females find themselves tremendously confident. They run their family in a better way and have a greater say in the family matters.

Funds for Literacy campaigns

For undertaking literacy campaigns across various districts of the country, NLM release funds for each district. While the ratio between centre and state is 2:1, it is 4 : 1 for the tribal sub plan districts across the country.
