A policy for public discussion
Two universal guarantees to examine
Free at the point of use does not mean free to provide. Any universal guarantee requires sustainable public financing, staffing, quality standards and transparent accountability.
🎓
Education from LKG to advanced study
Examine a publicly funded pathway from early childhood through school, vocational training, college, professional education and research, subject to transparent academic standards.
- Reduce fee-related barriers

🩺
Healthcare for every medical need

STATE HEALTHCARE & COST DATA • IN PREPARATION
India
The first release provides a national overview. Verified regional figures, official budgets, school and hospital access data, and welfare programme analysis will be published here with dates and citations.
Explore official state enrolment data ↗Methodology matters
Numbers should inform, not mislead.
A daily research digest can report new publications. It cannot turn annual crime statistics or mortality surveys into verified daily incident counts.
Our evidence standard: We distinguish registered crime from its causes; audit observations from confirmed waste; hospital price complaints from proven misconduct; and observed deaths from estimates of avoidable mortality. Education and healthcare can address important problems, but they are not the only factors behind every social outcome.
Verify the facts
Research starts with official sources.
Use original government data, independent research, and clearly labelled reporting periods. Links below lead to source institutions rather than fabricated live feeds.
