Abstract:

A vital part of human existence is education. It is regarded as one of the most crucial components of the development. As a result, an effort has been undertaken to identify the spatial diversity in Haryana’s degree of educational progress. It is an investigation using secondary data that makes use of 2011-related data. The 13 factors that make up the composite index of educational progress include teacher-to-student ratio in primary, middle, high, and senior secondary schools, overall literacy, female literacy, gender gap in literacy, school/college population ratio, and school/college density. The findings show that Haryana’s degree of educational progress is not consistent. In terms of educational development, the Mahendragarh districts in the south and the surrounding national capital region are more advanced than the other districts in the state. Mewat, Kaithal, and the northwest areas all have underdeveloped educational systems. Regarding the advancement of education in the state, Mewat district is the least developed, while Faridabad district is the most developed.
