For the Performance Grading Index (PGI) 2020-2021 published by the Ministry of Education, NCT of Delhi was not among the states/UTs that achieved the highest performance grade (‘Utkarsh’).

– The PGI 2020-21 assessed the performance of the school education system at the State/UT level.
– States/UTs are graded based on their scores across various indicators. The highest grade is ‘Daksh’ (901-1000 points), followed by ‘Utkarsh’ (811-900 points), ‘Ati Uttam’ (751-810 points), etc.
– For PGI 2020-21, no state/UT achieved the ‘Daksh’ grade. Seven states/UTs were in the ‘Utkarsh’ grade: Kerala, Punjab, Chandigarh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Rajasthan.
– NCT of Delhi was placed in the ‘Ati Uttam’ grade with a score of 759.
– Since there were seven entities in the top grade ‘Utkarsh’, these collectively represent the top performers. Delhi, being in the next grade, is not among this top group.

The Performance Grading Index evaluates states and UTs on 73 indicators grouped under 6 domains: Outcomes, Effective Classroom Transaction, Infrastructure, School Safety & Child Protection, Digital Learning, and Governance Processes. The index aims to help states/UTs identify areas for improvement and implement policy interventions.
