PBBB, a nationwide sub-programme of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan has been launched in August, 2014 to ensure quality at the fundamental years of schooling i.e. "classes i& II. Through this programme it will be ensured that all children are able to read with comprehension as well as basic numercy skills. The two tracks of PBBB are: Early reading and writing with comprehension (ERWC) and Early Mathematics (EM). As a follow up to the foundational programme, a programme called the National Reading Initiative was launched in 2015-16 to develop and promote the habit of reading among students in elementary schools, thereby extending the programme up to class8.
