About

Mapping India's education divide.

The Project

Whitespace India Education is a research initiative mapping education infrastructure gaps across Indian districts. Using government data from UDISE+, the National Achievement Survey, ASER reports, and Census records, we score every district on three dimensions: school access, learning outcomes, and infrastructure adequacy.

The goal is to surface the districts where education interventions would have the greatest impact — not through subjective assessment, but through transparent, reproducible scoring based on public records.

Data Sources
  • UDISE+ (Unified District Information System for Education Plus) 2021-22
  • National Achievement Survey (NAS) 2021 — Learning outcomes by grade
  • ASER (Annual Status of Education Report) — Reading and arithmetic levels
  • Census of India 2011 — District population baselines
