Modi government report exposes digital infrastructure deficit in schools
India's latest school report card (PGI-D 2023-24) shows a massive digital gap: over 82.7% of districts scored below 50% on digital learning, pointing to big tech and infrastructure issues in schools.
No district hit the top two grades, highlighting just how far most places have to go for solid digital education.
TL;DR
Barnala in Punjab is a rare success
The urban-rural divide is clear—New Delhi managed a decent 33 out of 50 for digital access, while Bihar's Supaul district scored just two.
Most districts are struggling, but Barnala in Punjab stands out as a rare success with over 70%.
The report also notes that overall infrastructure and governance scores dropped this year, making it even more urgent to boost resources so every student gets a fair shot at digital learning.
