986 Arunachal Govt Schools Shut in 2 Years Despite ₹3,000 Crore Budget

A report citing UDISE and NITI Aayog data reveals 986 government schools closed in Arunachal (2024-25) due to low enrollment, even as favorable teacher-student ratios (9:1 primary) failed to translate into better outcomes. Private schools merely filled gaps left by failing government ones, the report noted.
