Abstract
This policy note analyses the evidence
on the various equity issues relating to the participation
and completion of elementary school education in India is
based on the data collected by the national sample survey
(NSS) and national family health surveys (NFHS), the latest
year being looked at is 1998-99. this documentation of
state-wise regional, community, gender and income inequities
therefore do not take into account the progress made by
states in reducing the inequities under the district primary
education program (DPEP) program for the last 8 years. in
fact, some of the issues which comes out of this study and
needs attention is probably already addressed under some of
the new programs already being undertaken by the MHRD, such
as the sarva shiksha abhiyan (SSA). however, by filing these
issues in a systematic manner, we hope to draw continued
attention to the status of these issues in the programs.
