Madhya Pradesh Govt Admits No Updated Data on Literacy & Unemployment

In a matter of deep public concern, the Madhya Pradesh government has admitted in the State Assembly that it does not have updated data on literacy and unemployment. Officials revealed that the state is still dependent on the 2011 Census, which recorded a literacy rate of 69.3%, while unemployment figures are not available beyond the job seeker entries on the MP Employment Portal.

The School Education Minister cited the Centre’s “ULLAS” programme as an initiative for literacy, but failed to present recent progress reports. Assembly replies also exposed a steady fall in job fairs and offer letters for youth, signaling worrying gaps in employment opportunities.

📌 Without current statistics, policymakers, students, and job aspirants remain uncertain about the real situation of education and employment in the state. Citizens and experts stress the urgent need for updated surveys and transparent data to plan effective reforms.

INCLUSIVE EDUCATION GETS A BOOST: UDISE+ 2024-25 REPORT REVEALS POSITIVE PROGRESS

India is steadily moving towards inclusive education! According to the latest UDISE+ 2024-25 report, nearly 54.9% of schools across the country are now equipped with accessible infrastructure such as ramps, handrails, and supportive facilities for Children with Special Needs (CWSN).

This milestone reflects the government’s strong commitment under the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) to provide education with dignity, equality, and opportunity for every learner. Experts say this progress not only removes physical barriers but also fosters a culture of inclusivity, ensuring no child is left behind in the pursuit of education.

Civil society groups and parents of differently-abled children have welcomed the step but emphasized the need for further expansion calling for inclusive classrooms, trained teachers, and assistive technology to create a truly barrier-free learning environment.

🚨 Public Interest News | India Post Ends Registered Post 🚨

India Post to Discontinue Registered Post from September 1, 2025
In a major move to modernise mail delivery, India Post has announced it will phase out its 50-year-old Registered Post service starting September 1, 2025. The iconic service—long trusted for sending legal documents, government notices, and personal letters—will now be merged with Speed Post as part of a larger digitisation and efficiency overhaul.

While officials claim the merger will streamline operations and improve delivery times, concerns loom large for rural and economically weaker sections, who relied on Registered Post’s low cost and legal validity. Unlike Speed Post, which is costlier, Registered Post offered a secure yet affordable mode of communication for millions across the country.

This decision has triggered public discourse on digital exclusion, affordability, and access to government services in remote areas.

📌 Why it matters:

Affects legal, academic, and government-related correspondence

Could widen the urban-rural digital divide

May pressure users to shift to costlier or digital modes

📮 Government is urged to ensure inclusive alternatives and affordable options for vulnerable populations.
