Global Dream literacy initiative launched by Dr Sunita Gandhi is all set to launch one-of-a-kind platform for disruptive change in literacy and education on Tuesday, 8 Jun 2021 through D-Talks or Disruptive Talks with focus on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy. This live talks the platform is all set to bring great thinkers, practitioners and eminent personalities from India and worldwide such as top government officers, educationists, and leaders from corporates, national and international foundations, and voluntary organizations to discuss most urgent issues concerning education, in particular that of adult literacy and foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) skills in children.



Regarding the theme of Disruptive Talks, Dr Sunita Gandhi, who is also the Vice Chairman of India Literacy Board, told us that, “Literacy was a persistent problem in the past and even more so now due to the Pandemic. The status quo is not a sufficient response to the crises, nor are the best of historical solutions to the problem. We need disruptive solutions that are groundbreaking, swift, effective, low or zero cost, replicable and scalable. The presenters on D-talks Literacy Series will share their ideas for solutions to the widening learning poverty and their insights, ideas gained through their years of experience.”
