The Economic Times Education reports that Andhra Pradesh placed second in the 2026 Education Access Index, while also ranking among the top states for healthcare access.
The Economic Times Education has released its 2026 Education Access Index (AEI), placing Andhra Pradesh in the second position nationwide. The ranking reflects the state's performance across a range of education indicators, including school enrollment, infrastructure, and learning outcomes.
In addition to its strong showing in education, Andhra Pradesh is listed among the top Indian states for healthcare access. The report highlights the state's progress in expanding medical facilities, improving service delivery, and ensuring broader coverage for its population.
Officials and analysts view the dual achievement as a sign of balanced development, suggesting that the state's policies are effectively addressing both learning and health needs. Continued focus on these sectors is expected to reinforce Andhra Pradesh's standing in future national assessments.
The AEI results are likely to influence policy discussions at both state and central levels, as governments seek models that can replicate such outcomes across other regions.
