Himachal Pradesh has been declared a fully literate state with a literacy rate of 99.3%, surpassing the national benchmark of 95%. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu made the announcement on International Literacy Day in Shimla. From just 7% literacy in 1947, the state has achieved near-universal literacy through reforms, better infrastructure, and teacher training. Himachal also ranks first in student-teacher ratio and is focusing on digital and skill-based education. With this feat, Himachal joins Mizoram, Tripura, Goa, and Ladakh (UT) as fully literate regions of India.
