What does the national picture tell?
According to the released data, no district in the country could reach the highest ‘Utkarsh’ (91-100%) or ‘Uttam-1’ (81-90%) grade in 2024-25. Most of the districts were in ‘Pracheshta-1’ (51-60%) and ‘Pracheshtha-2’ (41-50%) categories. In comparison, the number of districts in ‘aspirational’ categories was much less. This indicates that the number of very poor performing districts has decreased, but the number of districts reaching the top level is still not there. At the national level, compared to 2023-24, the number of districts in ‘Pracheshta-1’ and ‘Uttam-3’ category has increased, while the number of districts in ‘Pracheshta-2’ and ‘Pracheshta-3’ has decreased. This means that many districts have gradually moved towards better grades.
Delhi’s demonstration
Talking about 13 districts of Delhi, in 2024-25, 9 districts remained in ‘Uttam-3’ (61-70%), 4 districts in ‘Uttam-2’ (71-80%) and 3 districts in ‘Pracheshta-1’ (51-60%) category. No district of Delhi could achieve ‘Utkarsh’ or ‘Uttam-1’ grade, but not a single district is in the ‘Akanshi’ category. It is clear from this that all the districts of Delhi remain in the relatively better performing category.
Ranking of districts based on different categories has also been given in the report. For example, in the digital learning category, South district stood first with 39 points, while New Delhi and South West BI stood next with 36 points each. Whereas, North West A got 33 numbers in this category.
condition of other states
The report has also made comparisons at the district level within the states. For example, both the districts of Goa are in the ‘Pracheshta’ category, while most of the districts of Haryana also appear in ‘Pracheshta-2’ and ‘Pracheshta-3’ grades. It is clear from this that there is still scope for improvement in education in almost all the states.
The government says that the purpose of this report is to identify the shortcomings of the states and districts and to encourage them to provide better education, so that the quality of education in schools across the country can improve. This report is not only to give the ranking, but also to understand which areas need improvement the most.
