Mizoram Education Minister Lalsawta has said that concerted efforts were being made to achieve hundred per cent literacy for the state with the launching of Rapid Action Total Literacy Campaign (RATLC).
According to an official statement, Lalsawta, who launched the RATLC in south Mizoram's Lunglei district yesterday, said that the mission was to make Mizoram a cent per cent literate state before the completion of the 2011 census.
