At present there is at least one adult education centre in each district in every village. Saakshar Bharat (Locally in Andhra Pradesh called as Saakshar Bharat) is a government of India initiative launched by Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh to create a literate society through a variety of teaching learning program for non-literate and neo-literate of 15 years and above.
