Executive Summa

1. The sample survey of households was conducted in all the states and Union Territories India during February - May 2009. The following findings are based on the data collect

from a sample of 99,226 households.

2. It was estimated that there were 190,582,581 children in the age group 6-13 years. Out these, the estimated number of out-of-school children in the country was 81,50,618 w

comprised 4.28% of the total children in this age group.

3. The estimated number of children in the age-group 6-13 was 155,143,385 in rural areas a35,439,196 in urban areas. The survey clearly brought out the urban-rural dichotomy to t

fore as the estimated number of children who are out-of-school was 7,024,118 in ru

areas (4.53%) and 1,126,500 in urban areas (3.18%).

4. The percentage of out-of-school children was relatively higher among those in the aggroup 11-13 years (5.23%) compared to those in the age group 6-10 years (3.69%).

5. Percentages of out-of-school boys and girls in the age group 6-10 years were 3.40% an


10/160

dropped out after class V (19.17%).

11.Among those who are reported to be attending school in the age group 6-13, overwhelming 73.07% are in government schools, 25.59% in private recognized schools a

0.66% in private unrecognized schools and rest 0.68% in other types of programs such

13.35.53% of the total children in the age group 6-13 years were living in below poverty lifamilies (henceforth called BPL) and 5.03% of the children in the age group 6-13 years livi

in BPL families were out of school.

14.Estimates provided by the survey are expected to be quite reliable at the level of tcountry and for major states, as the sample was quite adequate and representative. In tcase of North Eastern and other smaller states, some caution needs to be exercised wh

interpreting results due to smallness of samples.

National Snapsho

This section details out the key findings of the study at a National Level. The data has bee

disaggregated by location (urban & rural), gender, age group, social group and type

disabilities. Furthermore, a comparison of the current findings with 2005 Out of school surv

has also been done. In that survey also, similar sampling design and methodology were use

The ensuing table presents the overview of the findings at an All India level at various levels

disaggregation.

school and 4.71% of the estimated female population (8.59 crore) were out of school. The stu

also revealed that, in Rural India, percentage of female population who were out of scho

(5.09%) was higher than the male population (4.06%).

Among the two age groups, i.e. 6-10 years and 11-13 years, it was observed that, estimatpercentage of out of school children was higher in the age group 11-13 years (5.23%)

compared to 6-10 years (3.69%).

Caste wise analysis of out of school children revealed that an estimated 7.67% of the Musli

children were out of school. This percentage was higher than the out of school percentage

the other categories like SC children (5.96%), ST children (5.60%) and OBC + Others childre

(2.67%). Among the Muslim out of School children, 46.8% were females.

The study revealed that an estimated 28.97 lakhs children in the age group 6-13 years w

Chart :1 Percentage of Out-of-School ChildrenByA comparison was drawn from the earlier

survey to observe the magnitude of changeamong the out of school children. Locality

wise analysis revealed that at an overall level

the percentage of out of school children aged

6-13 years has decreased from 6.94% in 2005

to 4.28% in 2009 study. This decrease is

sharper in Rural India from where it

decreased from 7.80% to 4.53% compared to

Urban India where it decreased from 4.34%

to 3.18% in 2009 study. The fall in Rural India has majorly contributed in bringing down t

overall aggregates percentages.

revealed that a higher proportion of girls wereout of school as compared to boys in both

rounds. However, the proportion out of school

girl child among the age group 6-13 years

decreased in current round of study (4.71%) as

compared to 2005 survey (7.92%). In numbers

this translated to 40.45 lakhs girls being out of

school in the current round of study from

67.72 Lakhs in 2005. Decline in the percentage

of out of school female children could be attributed to the several initiatives for girls educati

under SSA. The proportion of the out of school male child decreased from 6.18% (66.87 Lakh)

3.92% (41.05 Lakhs) in current round of study.

Chapter 2: Concepts and Definition

The concepts and definition used in the survey are broadly classified as (a) terms used fsampling (b) used for categorization of children with special needs.

2.1 Terms used for Sampling

1. Hamlets: In village, there exist usually a few localities or pockets where the houses of tvillage tend to cluster together. These are called hamlets. Large hamlets may be divid

artificially to achieve more or less equal population content for the purpose of hamlet groformation.

Chapter 3: Sample Desig

3.1 Sample Design

A three stage stratified sample design was adopted for this survey Primary Sampling Un

(PSUs) being villages in rural areas and urban Frame Survey (UFS blocks) in urban areas.

Sampling Frame: The sampling frame used for primary Sampling units in Rural areas is the l

of villages covered in NSS 64th

Round (2007-2008). In case of urban areas also, the sampling l

of Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks covered in NSS 64th

Round. Since the NSS (64th

round) dnot cover (i) Leh (Ladhak) and Kargil districts of Jammu & Kashmir (ii) interior villages

Nagaland situated beyond five kms of the bus route and (iii) villages in Andaman and Nicob

Islands which remain inaccessible throughout the year.

Sample Size: In this survey, 5090 urban and Rural Primary Sampling units were covered.

districts in each of the states and union territories were selected for the survey. The tot

sample among the 5090 PSUs was distributed among each of the districts in the sam

proportion as the distribution of rural and urban allocation in the 64th

Round of NSS.

l b f


28/160

The list of village / UFS blocks in a district (from the NSSO sampled list used for 64th Round) w

arranged in ascending order of sub stratum number and the PSUs were selected throu

Systematic Random Sampling without replacement (SRSWOR). Table A3 gives details of tnumber of PSUs (Villages and UFS blocks) sampled in each state. The table also shows t

number of PSUs in the NSS sample which constituted the sampling frame.

Selection of Hamlets: For both rural PSUs and urban blocks investigators formed t

Hamlets/sub blocks and selected two randomly. The procedure for this is explained below

(i).

For rural PSUs the field investigators ascertained the exact boundaries of the samplvillage. The key informant were Gram Pradhan, Sarpanch, Panchayat Members, seni

residents, priests, school teachers, or other residents of the village. For urban bloc

the field investigators ascertained the exact boundaries of the UFS block. For urba

samples, the boundaries of the Urban Frame Survey block were identified by referri

to the map of the block.

(ii).After identifying the village/block, investigators determined whether listing will be doin the entire village/block or not. In case the present population of the village/blowas found to be more than 600, it was divided into a suitable number of hamlets/su

blocksclusters of houses.


29/160

The hamlets groups/sub blocks thus formed were done by more or less equalizing th

population (i.e., the population in every hamlet group/sub block was more or less equal).

(i). For rural PSUs the investigators drew an indicative map showing the approximalocation of the hamlets/sub blocks and then number them sequentially from t

north-west corner proceeding southwards. While drawing this map uninhabited ar

and isolated households of the village were included as part of a nearby hamlet. F

urban blocks maps procured from NSSO regional offices were used.

(ii). The boundaries of the hamlets/sub blocks were defined with the help of somlandmark like streets, canals, footpaths, railway lines, roads, etc.(iii). All such hamlets/sub blocks were listed in the village/block and also their populatio

was noted in the map.

(iv). The criteria for hamlet-group/sub block formation were equality of population ageographical contiguity. In case there was a conflict between the two paramete

geographical contiguity was given priority. However, there was not a substant

difference between the population of the largest and the smallest hamlet-gro

formed.

The Cover Sheet for Contacts was used for filling in the names of village hamlets, and numb

of households before starting listing of the households. The Contact Sheet was used f

identifying the eligible households (that is, households having children in the age group of 5-years). Using this list as sampling frame, circular systematic sampling method was adopted f

sampling households which had children in the age group of 5-13 years (date of birth betwee

1st

January 1996 and 1st

January 2004).

In all, 20 households were selected from these two strata in every PSU. All the households fro

stratum 2 were selected for the interview. The balance from 20 was selected from stratum

using circular systematic sampling.

The Main Schedulewas used for recording information collected from the sampled househo

(b)The Target population for the survey is children of age 5 to 13. In view Constitutional commitment is for the children of age 6 to 13, so most of the resu

will pertain to children of age 6 to 13. The schedule B (Contact sheet) recor

in case of all children, it is suggested that estimates for x and y obtained fro

schedule B is to corrected by subtracting estimates obtained from schedule C f

children of age 5 only. In the case of disabled children, this approach is not require

as all the such households from schedule B are included in schedule C for collectio

of information

(c) The estimates required foe the survey are broadly classified as(i) Estimation of number of children belonging to a specific category- estimat

for it is provided in section 5.

(ii) Estimation of number of household possessing a specific characteristestimator for it provided in section 6.

(iii) Estimation of number of children against every reason for not attendischool separately for dropouts and never attended children.
