Analysis shows varying achievements in universal education among marginalized children across Delhi, Bihar, and other states, suggesting targeted policy interventions.
For a country like India with a large demographic dividend, it is important that its children receive ample opportunity to grow, learn and earn, thus, adding to the GDP growth of the economy. This can only be achieved when the marginalized children namely under the SC/ST/OBC/EWS are given the same level and opportunity of learning that the rest of the children and the country receive. This paper analyses, studies and compares the financial incentive and scheme that are being imparted to marginalized children from Delhi, Kerala, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar. What is the level of achievement that has been attained by these states with respect to these children? Which states have achieved near universal education and why? What are the problems that are being faced by the laggard states? Learning from the states that have achieved universal education and addressing these issues through the New Education Policy (2020).
