Key Points

• Mission Daksh is an initiative of the Education Department, Government of Bihar, launched in December 2023 to address learning poverty in government schools.
• Its primary objective is to identify children who have fallen behind grade-level expectations and provide them personalised, small-group remedial mentoring so they attain the competencies expected for their class.
• Under the scheme, weaker students in Classes 3 to 8 are grouped into batches of about five learners per teacher for extra daily instruction in Hindi and Mathematics, with periodic assessment to track progress.
• The mission directly supports the goals of NIPUN Bharat and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, both of which prioritise Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN).
