NEW DELHI:
Other top performing states and union territories include Kerala, Daman and Diu, Haryana, Goa, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, the report said. Performance Grading Index for Districts (PGI-D) measures the performance of states and UTs in school education.
The department of school education and literacy (DOSEL) has so far released PGI report for states and UTs for the years 2017-18 to 2021-22. Meghalaya has been adjudged as the lowest performing state in the latest report. Puducherry, Himachal Pradesh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and West Bengal are among the average performers.
The gap between India's top and bottom performing states and union territories in school education has narrowed over time, with inter-state performance disparity declining from 51% in 2017-18 to 41% in 2023-24.
