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

Answer

There is great regional differences in educational attainment in India. Some states like Kerela, Tamil Nadu and Uttranchal have higher literacy rates while states like Bihar, Rajasthan, U.P and Arunachal Pradesh have low literacy rates. This is due to inequalities of income and wealth on large scale also lack of investment by government on education. The people of these states give less importance to education and are mainly employed in agricultural sector or informal sector that has very less to do with education.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 4. Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have stepped up purchases of Indian stocks in the past six trading sessions following a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and top overseas funds on November 5. These investors have pumped in close to Rs. 30,200 crore since the meeting where the government showcased recent reforms as against Rs. 21,826 crore in the whole of October. In November so far, FPIs have invested Rs. 32,777 crore in domestic stocks, driving the Sensex and Nifty to record highs recently. "Lot of investors appreciated the reforms undertaken in agriculture and labour markets and appreciated the opportunities India offered" said a government official. Modi told the fund managers in the interaction that he is open to any feedback the investors may have according to the official.
