As we build Atlan’s data repository, we keep creating data points and visualizations that demand to be shared. Our data newsletter Real Numbers aims to bring this important data to you in simple bite-sized pieces. Over time, we’ll dive deep into our archives to cover everything from agriculture and education to healthcare and women’s issues in India.

Note: In the email version of Real Numbers, our map’s data source was incorrectly listed as DISE 2013-14. It should have been DISE 2014-15 (as above), since 2013-14 data is only reported in 2014-15. Apologies for the mistake.
