Why it matters
Improving PGI rankings is a key metric for state-level educational reform and resource allocation in India.
A two-day State-level residential orientation programme on the Performance Grading Index (PGI) began on Monday at the Dr. MCR HRD Institute here.
The programme, scheduled for July 20 and 21, brings together seven-member teams from each district to strengthen understanding of the PGI framework, indicators, data requirements and planning for school education. Each team comprises the District Education Officer (DEO), District Quality Coordinator, District Planning Coordinator, Assistant Statistical Coordinator, one Mandal Educational Officer, one School Complex Headmaster and one Cluster Resource Person.
Secretary (Education) Yogita Rana inaugurated the programme virtually, and said Telangana improved its national PGI ranking from 28th in 2024-25 to 18th in 2025-26 and called for coordinated efforts to achieve a single-digit national rank in the next assessment.
