1. Years of Schooling: A household is deprived if no member aged 10 years or older has completed six years of schooling.
2. School Attendance: A household is deprived if any child aged 6 to 14 years is not attending school.
Thus, ‘school attendance’ and ‘years of schooling’ are the parameters for the education dimension. ‘Literacy rate in the region’ is a related concept but is not one of the specific indicators used in the NITI Aayog’s MPI education dimension according to the methodology document.
