Which state became the third Indian state to be recognised as fully functionally literate, under the ULLAS – New India Literacy Programme, in June 2025?

The correct answer is Tripura.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Context of ULLAS: The ULLAS – New India Literacy Programme (Nav Bharat Saksharta Karyakram) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme aimed at empowering non-literates aged 15 years and above with foundational literacy, numeracy, and critical life skills across India.

2. Functional Literacy Recognition: A state or Union Territory achieves full functional literacy status under this program when it reaches a literacy rate of over 95% or successfully covers its target non-literate population through standard assessment modules.

3. State Recognition: In June 2025, Tripura was officially recognized as the third state in India to achieve full functional literacy under the ULLAS scheme, following the milestone achievements of Mizoram and Kerala/Ladakh in achieving full or functional literacy targets.

Hence, among the given choices, Tripura is the correct option.
