PIB: State-wise ranking on a composite index for primary and upper primary level of education

November 26th, 2007

[The following is from http://pib.nic.in/release/release.asp?relid=33162]

To assess progress of States and Union Territories towards the goal of Universalisation of Elementary Education, an Educational Development Index (EDI), has been developed by National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA).  The EDI has been developed on four broad parameters of access, infrastructure, teacher related indicators and elementary education outcomes.  State-wise ranking on a composite index for primary and upper primary level of education based on 2005-06 data, is given at Annexure.

Educationally Backward States receive priority in allocation of funds under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan.  In addition, capacity building of these States through trainings and workshops has been undertaken, especially in components in which these States are not performing well.  

This information was given by the Minister of State for Human Resource Development, Shri M.A.A. Fatmi in a written reply to a question by Dr. Gyan Prakash Pilania in  Rajya Sabha today.
