"Literacy is an essential instrument for all social change.", stated a UNESCO declaration in 1975.
India has been a land of learning through the ages. However, the ancient education was linked closely with religion and was not universal. The village priest imparted education to rich people of the village.
Pathsalas, Toles, Moktabs, Madrassas, Montessories and the Church-Schools in the later periods were the institutions for imparting education.
Assam Science Society was started in 1953 to popularise science in Assam. Then in 1990, the Society formed the Gyan Vigyan Samiti to eradicate illiteracy from Assam.
Then with the help of voluntary organisations, institutions and public cooperation, formed Gyan Vigyan Samiti at district levels. In order to create an environment for literacy and to identify activists and organisations, the Gyan Vigyan Kalajatra Campaign was started on 2nd October in 1990 for one month.
