In an inspiring story from Maharashtra, 86-year-old Anusuya Bai Wadekar has taken a significant step towards literacy by appearing for a formal exam. A resident of Marsavalli village in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar district, Wadekar never had the opportunity to attend school. She recently participated in a literacy test conducted under the central government’s ULLAS – Nav Bharat Saaksharta Karyakram, a program designed to empower non-literate adults. Wadekar was among 3,742 individuals in the district identified as illiterate. Her journey to education was supported by her family, with her grandson notably serving as her teacher, while local educators provided home tuitions upon noticing her keen interest. Her enthusiasm has sparked a wider movement in the region, inspiring hundreds of others to join the literacy drive. In the Phulambri Taluka alone, 353 people, including 242 women, participated in the examination. This report highlights Wadekar’s determination to learn reading and writing skills at an advanced age, serving as a beacon of hope for adult education initiatives.
