Chandigarh Leads in School Education Performance
The government uses a system called PGI 2.0 to check how well schools are doing across India.
This report looks at things like how much kids learn, the schools' resources, and if things are fair for everyone.
The newest report, which covers two school years, says Chandigarh is the best, followed by Punjab and Delhi.
Most other areas need more work.
The report helps the government find what to improve in schools.
Chandigarh is the top-performing region in school education, scoring 703 out of 1,000.
Meghalaya ranked lowest in the PGI 2.0 report.
The PGI 2.0 assesses school education across six key domains.
The report covers academic years 2022–23 and 2023–24.
25 of the 36 states and UTs improved their scores in 2023–24.
