Shimla: Himachal Pradesh has secured the 5th position in the overall national ranking in the National Achievement Survey (NAS) 2025, also known as PARAKH 2025 — a sharp rise from its 21st rank in 2021.
The state ranked 2nd at the Grade 3 level, 5th at Grade 6, and 4th at Grade 9, indicating marked qualitative improvements in its education system. Rajesh Sharma, state project director of Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, called it a major achievement for the state.
He credited the progress to key reforms implemented under chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu's leadership, including the merger of low-enrolment schools, rationalisation of teaching staff, expedited recruitment for vacancies, and the phased rollout of Rajiv Gandhi Day Boarding Schools in every assembly constituency.
In addition, exposure visits for teachers and students to international educational institutions have contributed to enhancing global learning perspectives and overall academic quality. These strategic steps led to measurable improvements in learning outcomes and overall educational quality, he said.
Sharma added that an official announcement regarding this ranking will be made on July 2 in Delhi, where he will represent the state. He emphasised that the result is a direct outcome of the consistent and reform-driven policies of the state govt. The achievement reinforces Himachal's growing status as a model for quality education in the country, he added.
