    According to the National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-6 2023-24 data, 54.6% of Indian men and 46.4% of Indian women have completed ten or more years of education. Both figures have increased since NFHS-5, with women’s rate rising by 5.4 percentage points and men’s rate by 4.4 percentage points, so the gap between the two has decreased from 9.2 to 8.2. That one national figure is in fact an average based on two groups which are almost entirely unlike one another. In the case of urban Indians,

    ₹1,855 – What parents of each govt. school student spend on private tuition on average (opens the original)

    In July, The Hindu published a piece questioning one of the more startling findings from the government’s Comprehensive Modular Survey: Education 2025 – 26.7% of children in government schools reported paying a course fee. The authors argued the figure might be a measurement problem rather than a policy failure: respondents may have reported private tuition payments as “tuition fees,” and that the tablet-based interviewing system used in the survey makes it hard to record a genuine zero.

    Why are women in Bihar reaching menopause in their thirties? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    While menopause typically occurs around the age of 50, data shows that a large number of women in Bihar experience menopause in their thirties. This phenomenon appears to be influenced more by prevailing medical practices than by biological factors, disproportionately affecting socioeconomically disadvantaged women in the State.
