NIPUN Bharat is a programme launched by the Government of India in 2018 to enhance the learning outcomes of students in primary schools across the country. The term “NIPUN” refers to the National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy.

The programme aims to improve the foundational skills of reading, writing and basic arithmetic among children in grades 1 to 3 in schools. In addition, the programme is designed to support teachers in these schools by providing them with training, teaching aids, and resources to help them improve the quality of education they provide.

“Upon the subject of education … I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people may be engaged in.” – Abraham Lincoln.

What Is Foundational Literacy and Numeracy?

Having prior knowledge of the language helps in developing literacy skills in languages. The primary components in Foundational Language and Literacy are:

  • Oral Language: Includes improved listening comprehension, oral vocabulary, and extended conversation skills.
  • Decoding: Involves decoding written words by comprehending the relationship between symbols and their respective sounds.
  • Reading Fluency: Refers to the ability to read a text with accuracy, speed, expression, and comprehension that allows children to make meaning from the text. 
  • Reading Comprehension: Involves extracting and constructing meaning from a text and thinking critically about it.
  • Writing: Includes the competencies of writing words and writing for expression.

Foundational Numeracy refers to the ability to reason and utilise numerical concepts to solve problems in everyday life. The significant aspects and components of early mathematics are:

  • Pre-number concepts: Learn counting and understand the number system.
  • Numbers and operations on numbers: Learn conventions required to master Mathematical techniques.
  • Shapes and Spatial Understanding: Perform simple computations and apply these to their day-to-life activities.
  • Measurement: Comprehend and use standard algorithms to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on numbers that consist of up to three digits.

Data Handling: Identify & extend simple patterns.

6 Changes That The Evaluation of FLN in NIPUN Bharat Will Bring-in

The NIPUN Bharat programme is seen as a critical initiative in India’s efforts to improve the quality of education and enhance the learning outcomes of its students.

The following are the changes that the FLN under NIPUN Bharat will bring in:

  1. Reduced Dropouts: Foundational skills will keep children in the class, thereby decreasing the dropouts and improving the transition rate from primary to upper primary and secondary stages.
  2. Improved Quality of Education: Activity-based learning and a conducive learning environment will further enhance the quality of education.
  3. Engaging & Active Learning: Innovative pedagogies such as toy-based and experiential learning will be used in classroom transactions, making learning a joyful and engaging activity.
  4. Teacher Capacity Building: Empowering teachers through intensive capacity building will give them more autonomy in selecting the pedagogy.
  5. Steeper Learning Trajectories: Children achieve steeper learning trajectories expected to impact later life outcomes and employment positively.
  6. Holistic Child Development: It will contribute to the child’s holistic development by focusing on different domains of development like physical and motor development, socio-emotional development, etc.

Since almost every child attends early grades, focus at that stage will also benefit the disadvantaged socio-economic group, ensuring access to equitable and inclusive quality education.
