Abstract
Monitoring is a key component of any successful organization. Every organization sets up its own system and process to ensure effective monitoring. Monitoring is an important tool for measuring performance improving the efficiency of the organization. It is a management tool that enables policy makers and implementers to assess whether the goals for which the organization was set up are being achieved efficiently. In the area of adult education, there has been considerable emphasis upon monitoring and evaluation. The Directorate of Adult Education (DAE) was set up to promote adult learning and served as the National Resource Centre and spearheaded the formidable task of monitoring of the literacy campaigns. The DAE was given the responsibility of collecting progress reports related to the literacy and post literacy campaigns on a monthly basis. DAE also collected feedback and progress reports through appraisals and field visits. These included District Evaluation Reports submitted by Evaluation agencies and field visits made on regular basis by DAE officials. Status Reports were brought out on a regular basis.
