Abstract: The present study investigated how adult education can build individual capabilities and thus improve quality of life. In year 1978, National Literacy Mission (1978) adopted “Mass campaign approach for total literacy” as its principal strategy for eradication of illiteracy of adults in our country. Objectives of the National Literacy Mission were to teach functional literacy to the adults. For example, literacy helps to broaden the capability to find a job, or to inform people about their rights, or to read a contract, or open a bank account, or even to access health services and so on. In the case of women, literacy improves their ability to teach their children. Fundamentally, literacy is instrumental in providing the person with skills and understanding. Hence, literacy process must be sustained to enable the people to realize their potential, to help themselves and achieve self-reliance. For this reason, they need a prospect for enhancing their capability and their learning becomes meaningful only when they succeed in building up their capabilities for living a good quality of Life.
