On the one hand, a largenumber of children are getting enrolled while on the other hand, 10 outof 100 children enrolled drop-out from primary grades, all of which needserious interventions. This is despite SSA interventions and mid-day mealacross the country. However, clearer picture of drop-out rate will emergewhen consistency of enrolment data is further improved.
