# Over 27,000 neo-literates take test in Niwari under ULLAS 2026-10-24T15:47:24+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Over 27,000 neo-literates in Niwari district appeared for the assessment test under the ULLAS Navbharat Literacy Programme on Saturday, 24 October 2026. The exam was held at centres across the district, with 12,730 candidates registered in Niwari development block and 14,718 in Prithvipur block. Candidates were welcomed with garlands and tilak at the centres, which were ready from 9 am. The test ran from 10 am to 5 pm, and candidates could arrive at their convenience. The assessment was conducted on the directions of Collector Jamuna Bhide and District Panchayat CEO Rohan Saxena. The programme aims to evaluate the learning of neo-literates and encourage them to continue their education. After the exam, teachers evaluated the answer sheets and uploaded the results to the online portal. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The ULLAS assessment in Niwari covers a large cohort of new learners, but the results will determine whether the programme’s ground-level implementation meets its evaluation goals. With 27,448 candidates registered across two blocks, the district administration has shown high organisational capacity. What remains unresolved is how many of the registered candidates actually sat for the test and what the pass rate will be. The next concrete step is the online publication of results, which teachers have already begun uploading. ## Coverage - bhaskar.com Straight reporting of exam logistics, registration numbers and official names with no editorial slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
