The Total Literacy Campaign was implemented by ____.

The Total Literacy Campaign (TLC) was the principal strategy of the National Literacy Mission for the eradication of illiteracy. The implementation was a mass-based, area-specific, time-bound, and volunteer-based campaign led primarily by the district administration. The campaigns were locally implemented by the Zilla Saksharata Samitis (District Literacy Committees), which were usually headed by the District Collector / District Magistrate. This structure ensured local relevance and administrative leadership. While the National Literacy Mission was a program under the central Ministry of Human Resource Development (now Ministry of Education), the day-to-day implementation and management were decentralized to the district level committees, often in partnership with local NGOs like the Bharat Gyan Vigyan Samiti (BGVS). State Adult Education Boards and private schools were not the primary implementing bodies for the mass campaign strategy.
