What does Mission Antyodaya data say about rural deprivation?
Public provisioning of basic facilities such as health and education, remains crucial for marginalised populations. In the context of the decentralised structure of governance and fund allocation in India, Guha, Jyotishi and Hatekar assess public provisioning at the disaggregated levels, and the gaps therein. Leveraging the Mission Antyodaya dataset, they create a ‘Rural Deprivation Index’ which can be used to examine the status of provisioning across blocks, villages, districts and states.
