Electoral Literacy to be Integrated into Indian Classrooms

The Election Commission and the Ministry of Education in India have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to introduce and update textbooks with content on electoral literacy in classrooms across the country.

This initiative is aimed at addressing voter apathy among young Indians by educating them about their future roles and duties as voters in the electoral process.

The MoU includes integrating electoral literacy into the curricular framework for classes 6 to 12 in all schools and extending it to colleges and universities.

It also focuses on teacher training, the establishment of Electoral Literacy Clubs (ELCs), and activities to promote voter awareness among students.
