[amp_mcq option1=”Universal elementary education” option2=”Adult literacy” option3=”Higher education” option4=”Vocational training” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n

The correct answer is: Universal elementary education.<\/p>\n

Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) is a flagship program of the Government of India with the objective of universal elementary education (UEE) in India. The program was launched in 2001 and aims to provide free and compulsory education to all children in the age group of 6-14 years.<\/p>\n

The SSA is implemented by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) and is funded by the central government. The program is implemented through the state governments and local bodies.<\/p>\n

The SSA has been successful in increasing the enrollment of children in schools and reducing the dropout rate. The program has also helped to improve the quality of education in government schools.<\/p>\n

However, the SSA has also faced some challenges, such as the lack of qualified teachers and the poor infrastructure in government schools.<\/p>\n

Despite these challenges, the SSA is a significant step towards achieving UEE in India. The program has made a positive impact on the lives of millions of children in India.<\/p>\n
