Arunachal Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Thursday inaugurated a Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) Centre at Doimukh. Aligned with National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and NIPUN Bharat Mission, the FLN Centre is the first in the country to ensure that every child attains foundational literacy and numeracy skills by the end of Grade 3 attuned with local Arunachal culture and needs. The Centre adopts play-based, child-centric pedagogy, encourages mother tongue instruction in early grades, ensures continuous assessment, and emphasizes teacher capacity building with active community participation. “This center is the result of a true team effort with support from NHPC, HDFC, Untied Fund, LADF from the Pare Hydro Project and CSR contribution. My sincere appreciation to Doimukh MLA Nabam Vivek and all stakeholders for their commitment,” Khandu said. The Chief Minister also lauded the District Administration led by Deputy Commissioner Visakha Yadav for her initiative in making the vision a reality.
