Jammu & Kashmir State Open School Education For All, to achieve universalisation of education, J&K Government notified the establishment of State Open School in 2002. After a period of thirteen years, BOSE finally succeeded in implementing SOS with the aim to achieve 100 percent literacy in the state. The open learning system will open up opportunities to the school dropouts, older persons, failures, women, unemployed, downtrodden people and differently abled children to ensure social justice by democratising education.
