Do you know which are the most backward districts of India? The government has mapped India’s backward regions and ranked them on the basis of an index formulated by quantifying four parameters – poverty, health, education and infrastructure – using district-level data, for the first time yet.
These 115 districts from 28 states are not necessarily the ‘most backward’.
