Lt Governor Kiran Bedi today greeted a four-member women team here who are currently on a road trip from Coimbatore to London to promote literacy. The four women, who are on the 70-day long trip, are Meenakshi Arvind (the team leader), her 20-year-old daughter Vrinda, Priya Rajpal from Mumbai and Mookambika Rathinam from Pollachi in Tamil Nadu.

Assistant Governor of Rotary District 2981 Vanaja said the team had embarked upon the trip from Coimbatore yesterday under the Rotary India Literacy Mission to spread literacy.

This was also to commemorate the 70 years of Independence of India.

The team would travel through Imphal, Myanmar, China, Uzbekistan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Austria, France and would reach London on June 5.

Vanaja said the Rotary organisation was keen about achieving cent per cent literacy in the country by 2020.
