 The "Continuing Education Scheme" provides a learning continuum to the efforts of the Total Literacy and Post Literacy programmes.The "Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan" (Hindi for "Total Literacy Campaign") was launched in 2001 to ensure that all children in the 6–14-year age-group attend school and complete eight years of schooling by 2010.An important component of the scheme is the "Education Guarantee Scheme and Alternative and Innovative Education", meant primarily for children in areas with no formal school within a one-kilometer radius.
