Department of Lifelong Learning and Extension
The Kothari Commission’s recommendations (1964) resulted into the formation of National Adult Education Program (NAEP) of Government of India in 1978 to achieve maximum literacy level of the country through Adult Education. In the year 1978, Departments of Adult and Continuing Education were launched in all the Indian Universities which contributed to the Mass Program for Functional Literacy (MPFL). By the support of National Literacy Mission in 1988, such Departments were flourished and financed by University Grants Commission. Further, as per UGC recommendation, the Department of Adult and Continuing Education which has been recognized as a Statutory Department of the University of Mumbai since 1994, is renamed as Department of Lifelong Learning and Extension [DLLE] in the year 2009. There are 86 such DLLE Departments in various Universities in India and 11 Non- Agricultural Universities in Maharashtra also have fully functional DLLE departments. The UGC- NAAC has given special weightage to the programs conducted by the department in universities while ranking the status of the Universities.
