To determine the performance of various states and UTs with respect to Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in health, education, and water sectors, NITI Aayog designed and established an outcome monitoring framework to facilitate sharing of best practices, leading to a superior centre-state and state-state engagement, directed towards transforming the above sectors in the country. School Education Quality Index (SEQI) was developed to bring an outcome focus to the education policy by providing states and UTs with a platform to identify their strengths, weaknesses, and undertake requisite course corrections or policy interventions.
We carried out an independent review, analysis, and verification of KPIs for all states and UTs, focusing on learning levels, access, equity, infrastructure, and governance processes. In addition, we assisted NITI Aayog in the strengthening of design and methodology of SEQI.
