Rural Quality of Life Index
District-Level Benchmarking Across Rural India
The Rural Quality of Life Index measures the living conditions of more than 900 million rural citizens across 707 districts using 72 district-level indicators, organised across 9 thematic domains and powered by 14 public administrative datasets.
It enables governments, researchers, and development partners to compare district performance, identify development gaps, and prioritise interventions using consistent, evidence-based metrics.
Rural Quality Life Experience Index
Village-level intelligence for political leaders, governance systems, and development practitioners
Built using Mission Antyodaya Survey data from 660,000 villages, this platform provides detailed village-level insights through a composite index based on:
- Access to Amenities
- Livelihoods
- Public Services
Designed around the principle of “Same Data, Multiple Users,” it enables political leaders, government officials, and programme teams to explore identical datasets from perspectives relevant to their own responsibilities.
