The NITI Aayog is in the process to develop a National Gender Index.
The objective of the National Gender Index is to measure the progress and identify the persisting gaps in gender equality to make informed policy decisions.
It will serve as a tool to map the progress of India’s States and UTs on defined gender metrics and build the foundation for positive change.
The information was released in the Annual Report 2021-22 of NITI Aayog.
