Chandigarh Elderly Embrace Literacy Through Park Classrooms

Chandigarh Elderly Embrace Literacy Through Park Classrooms

Some elderly people in Chandigarh are going back to school, but it's not in a regular classroom!

They are learning how to read and write in public parks with the help of teachers.

This is part of a government program called ULLAS that helps adults who didn't get a chance to go to school when they were younger.

They're learning so they can do things like read signs and count money.

The teachers and volunteers are helping them learn important skills.

They are preparing for a test to check how much they have learned.

This program is helping them to gain confidence and happiness through education.
