NEW DELHI: Between NFHS-5 (2019-21) and NFHS-6 (2023-24), the share of Indian women who have ever used the internet almost doubled from 33.3% to 64.3%, preschool attendance among children aged two to four years rose from 40.1% to 47% and proportion of women with 10 or more years of schooling climbed from 41% to 46.4%.The latest National Family Health Survey suggests India is witnessing a quiet but significant transformation in both education and digital access for girls and women. Yet beneath national gains, the survey reveals sharp inequalities that continue to shape educational opportunities across the country, with female school attendance among those aged 6 and above standing at 84.3% in urban India compared to 69.2% in rural areas.
