"Chhattisgarh shows literacy around ~78-80%, but with serious disparities in tribal and rural sections, challenges in school infrastructure, teacher shortage, and retention rates."
Chhattisgarh’s literacy estimates are about 78.5%, reflecting gains over time but still lagging behind many states. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6} Tribal, rural areas face infrastructural deficits—schools lacking proper buildings, basic amenities like toilets and drinking water, and insufficient teacher deployment. School retention wanes after primary level, especially in remote and tribal districts. Nonacademic barriers like nutrition, health, and transport affect school entry, attendance, and performance. Government programmes aim to target these challenges but implementation remains uneven.
Based on the above factors and the IQ test history, the average IQ in Chhattisgarh is 91.
Chhattisgarh’s improvement strategy should emphasise equity: reinforcing infrastructure in tribal and rural districts, ensuring basic facilities, increasing teacher support and retention, and expanding early childhood education. Remedial and multilingual instruction, health and nutrition services, and transport support will help reduce barriers. Close attention to learning outcomes and district-level issues will ensure that educational gains convert into stronger readiness for all children across the state.
