Five years, 10 states: Where India’s government school count fell the most

Lok Sabha data shows that India’s government school count has declined over the past five years, but the fall is neither even nor gradual. It is concentrated in a handful of states and often arrives in sharp, single-year corrections. The numbers point to administrative change more than a uniform national trend, raising questions about how the official school map is being reshaped locally.
