India's educational and household conditions have improved due
to the targeted efforts of the government through several social
protection schemes, especially in the areas of water availability
and sanitation, the State of Inequality in India Report
revealed.
'The State of Inequality in India Report' was released by Dr
Bibek Debroy, Chairman of the Economic Advisory Council to the
Prime Minister (EAC-PM), in which information on inequities across
sectors of health, and education, household characteristics and the
labour market were compiled.
The report was written by the Institute for Competitiveness and
presents a holistic analysis of the depth and nature of inequality
in India, according to Saudi Gazette.
Dr Debroy stated,“inequality is an emotive issue. It is also an
empirical issue since definition and measurement are both
contingent on the metric used and data available, including its
timeline”.
“To reduce poverty and enhance employment, since May 2014, the
government has introduced a variety of measures interpreting
inclusion as the provision of necessities, measures that have
enabled India to withstand the shock of the COVID-19 pandemic
better,” He further added.
Saudi publication referring to the report said that by 2019-20,
95 per cent of the schools have functional toilet facilities on the
school premises of which 96.9 per cent are functional toilets for
girls.
