Literacy Camps were initiated by Vanitha Jyothi Mahila Sangam to cater to the needs of adult girls/women who could not join mainstream education system or who were drop outs from formal schools. The scheme aims to provide educational opportunities to girls/women above the age of 15 years along with additional inputs of skill-development/vocational training. The main focus of the scheme is to ensure that contents of the course are need-based and modified according to local requirement and simultaneously targeting towards various stages of educational levels of primary/middle/high school and matric/secondary level courses. The Programme gained immense popularity due to its flexible approach and combination of formal and non-formal structure.
