Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is a flagship program launched by the Government of India in 2000 aimed at achieving universal elementary education. The initiative focuses on providing free and compulsory education to children aged 6 to 14 years, ensuring that every child has access to quality schooling. It emphasizes improving infrastructure, teacher training, and learning outcomes in schools across the country. The program also addresses issues of gender and social equity, aiming to reduce dropout rates and promote inclusive education for marginalized communities. By fostering community participation and enhancing educational resources, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan seeks to create a more educated and skilled population, contributing to national development.
