About
The Gender Atlas is based on existing data and highlights problem regions so that action priorities can be identified. It is viewed as a management tool that can focus on both the ‘demand’ and’supply’ sides of issues that affect girls’ education.
The Digital Gender Atlas is a project of the Ministry of Human Resource Development’s Department of School Education and Literacy, with UNICEF sponsorship.
Objectives
- To identify low performing geographic pockets for girls,particularly from marginalised groups such as scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and Muslim minorities, on specific gender related education indicators.
- To ensure equitable education with a focus on vulnerable girls, including girls with disabilities, the Gender Atlas has been developed as a hands on management tool to enable critical decisions and action in pockets where performances are below par.
