Pegu further highlighted that Assam achieved the “Uttam-3” grade in Governance Processes, placing the state among only four States and Union Territories in India to attain this level.
The minister credited the achievement to the collective efforts of teachers, students, education department officials, and other stakeholders working towards improving school education across the state.
The Performance Grading Index (PGI) is an assessment framework developed by the Ministry of Education to evaluate the performance of school education systems across Indian states and Union Territories on various parameters, including learning outcomes, governance, infrastructure, and access to education.
The achievement is being seen as a significant boost for Assam’s education sector under the leadership of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and the state education department.
