This data story analyses various factors from multiple sources that are highly correlated with the Dropout Rate (Age Group 6-14) at the taluk level and uses predictive analysis to estimate the impact of changes in each factor on districts and taluks. The interactive dashboards are based on the report “Indicators And Its Impact Across Poverty, Health & Education Sectors“. Please click here to view/download the report.

Dropout Rate (Age Group 6-14) Factors

You can select the variable for which you want to see correlation with Dropout Rate, from the dropdown menu.

If the p-value for a variable is less than 0.05, then that variable has a significant correlation with Dropout Rate (Age Group 6-14). While many factors have significant correlation to GER, the following have been identified as impact factors in consultation with the domain experts.

Impact Factors

Predictive Impact Analysis

The dashboard has a slider using which, you can change the factor of interest. Initially, the slider is at 0%. If you want to decrease the factor by 10%, you can move the slider to the left. Similarly, if you want to increase the factor by 10%, you can move the slider to the right.

For example, say you want to increase the number of households having access to electricity by 20% of the current value, you can do it by moving the slider two times to the right (which corresponds to +20%)

The dashboards has district level map as well as taluk level map. The colours on these maps represent the change in multidimensional poverty index after making the desired change in the factor of interest. If you hover over a particular district in the district level map, you get a magnified image of those taluks belonging to that district.

Below the maps, you can see the score of each taluk sorted in descending order. The scoring is based on how good each taluk has performed in changing yield after changing the factor.

At the very bottom, you can see the dataset that is being used for making this interactive visualization

This data story illustrates the predicted impact of different factors that have shown high correlation with dropout rate for students across the state. This data story is read along with the correlation dashboard for dropout rate.

Recommended Budget Allocation For Reducing Dropout Rate (Age Group 6-14)

The budget allocation is calculated based on the correlation of the various significant factors with Dropout Rate. If a factor has high correlation with Dropout Rate, then that factor has to be allocated more budget than others. The method also takes into account the population of each district/taluk and distributes the budget in such a way that if a particular district/taluk has more people who are affected by a factor x, then we allocate more amount to that district/taluk in order to control that factor.
