Why do we observe regional differences in educational attainment in India?

Solution

There are regional differences in educational attainment in India because of the following factors:
(a) Illitracy among the weaker sections of society : It is the irony of Indian economy that majority of population is illiterate and poor. In order to improve their living standards they think that as many hands they have, they assist them. So, in order to earn money, they prefer that children should work instead of getting education. This trend is quite popular in same of the states like Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, Bihar etc.

(b) Availability of resources : In India, there are wide disparities in states in terms of availability of resources, availability of schools, colleges and awareness for education etc. Hence, this is also one of the reasons responsible for the present regional differences in educational attainment.

(c) Lack of proper implementation of government's policies : In some of states of India either the benefits of government policies on education donot reach or if they reach, there is lack of proper implementation. Consequently the children of these states are deprived of even elementary education.
