It will also help in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals on Education,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>World Literacy Day falls on 8th September every year. Celebrated since 1966, the objective of World Literacy Day is to highlight the importance of literacy to individuals, communities and societies.
