"Madhya Pradesh has seen gradual literacy gains (~75%), but large gender, socioeconomic, and rural-tribal gaps in schooling, infrastructure, and dropout rates persist."
Madhya Pradesh’s literacy rate is about 75.2% in latest estimates, improving from lower rates in earlier censuses. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5} Primary school coverage has expanded, but retention into secondary grades falls in many districts. Tribal belt and rural-remote areas show weak infrastructure (roads, classrooms, toilets), shortages of qualified teachers, and less access to remedial support. Health, nutrition, and household poverty remain strong influences on whether children begin school ready and stay engaged through higher grades.
Based on the above factors and the IQ test history, the average IQ in Madhya Pradesh is 92.
To strengthen outcomes in Madhya Pradesh, investments must target infrastructure in tribal and rural districts, ensure equitable teacher deployment, and scale up early childhood education. Strengthening support services (health, nutrition, safe drinking water) and reducing dropout risk are important. Policymakers should use local, disaggregated data and tailor interventions by district and social group to ensure gains are evenly distributed across the state.
[ While IQ alone does not define the full range of human intelligence or potential. IQ is just one of many dimensions of human potential. ]
