Increasing literacy in the Indian states is possible by increasing enrolments in elementary education. This study explores the latter by primary and upper primary enrolments for 19 major Indian states for the year 2012–2013. Using a non-parametric approach, namely data envelopment analysis (DEA), the results for urban primary and upper primary enrolments indicate that many of the states may be able to improve efficiency of input usage or maximise enrolments more efficiently provided that an adequate infrastructure could be expanded which keeps pace with rising population growths in the states. In rural areas an additional supportive input, namely, electricity supply for villages, may also help in enhancing the objective of increasing elementary education in the states.

This study aims at analyzing the differentials across rich and poor states and across rich and poorer strata and rural urban segments of 19 major Indian states. The study indicates that besides individual health financing policies of the respective state governments, there are significant disparities even between rural and urban strata and rich and poorer sections of the society. These are indicated by high inequality coefficients and an emerging pattern of life style second generation health problems as well as levels of utilization of both preventive and curative care both in public and private sectors. Our results emphasise that there is a need to increase public expenditure on health, improve efficiency in utilization of existing public facilities, and popularize government run health insurance schemes meant primarily for the poor. These steps may help to mitigate partly the inequitable outcomes.
