Haryana - Health and education

Education is an area in which Haryana has made significant progress. More adults in Haryana have completed secondary school than in many other states. And children’s learning outcomes are among the highest in the country. On health, however, there is mixed progress. On a positive note, Haryana records lower rates of open defecation than many other states. And infant mortality, which is close to the national average, is declining. Nonetheless, malnutrition levels in the state remain high, even among the richer households.
