Abstract
This paper is an attempt to evaluate the present condition of the educational infrastructure of Jorhat district of Assam, India. The term educational infrastructure covers dimensions like availability of schools, teachers, and intake capacity of schools. In addition to these three dimensions, some basic amenities of school like the condition of building, drinking water facility, toilet facility, electricity, and availability of proper furniture are also considered. The main attempt is to show the intra-district picture of educational infrastructure and how it is related to educational attainment status, i.e. enrolment & literacy. An attempt is made to formulate ‘Educational Infrastructure Index’ (EII) using these three dimensions besides conducting primary survey in selected villages of eight community development blocks to assess the real status of educational infrastructure.
