Consequent to several efforts, India has made enormous progress in terms of increase in insittutions , teachers, and students in elementary education.

The country has made impressive achievement in the elementary education sector. But the flip side is that out of the million children in the age group of 6 - 14 years, 59 million children are not attending school.
Of this, 35 million are girls and 24 million are boys. There are problems relating to drop - out rate, low levels of learning achievement and low participation of girls, tribals and other disadvantaged groups. There are still at least one lakh habitations in the country without schooling facility within a kilometre.
