Rural India spending more time on learning activities
Business Standard
|February 27, 2025
Both urban, rural saw a decline in learning time in 2024
People in rural areas spent more time on "learning activities" in 2024 than those in urban parts of India, revealed findings from the latest Time Use Survey (TUS) released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI) on Tuesday.
The study also suggested that over the last five years, girls have closed the gap with boys, who were spending less time on "learning activities" now. Learning activity includes time spent on formal education which involves school/university attendance, extra-curricular activities, homework among other things. It also includes travelling time related to learning.
