National Blueprint · One of 195

India

A nation of 1.46 billion that has brought electricity to almost every citizen and installed 171 GW of solar, while more than half its children, at the last national count, could not read a simple text by the age of ten.

Perfect Nations values what India owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with India. The learning figure dates from 2017 and is marked as dated; India does not publish the stricter food-insecurity survey, so food uses a lenient measure. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group. Where a strict measure is not published, a lenient one is shown and marked as such. Each figure links to its source.

  • Solution No. 42

    Solar Schools, Reading Children

    Solar on every government school, and the power savings finance children learning to read.

    • 01The challenge56% of Indian children could not read a simple text by the end of primary school in 2017.
    • 02What Perfect Nations advisesIndia should put solar on the roof of every government school through its sovereign green bonds, and commit the electricity savings to reading programmes rewarded on results, as the Educate Girls impact bond first did in Rajasthan. With super intelligence, every child can have a reading tutor in their own language on a shared device, and every school’s progress and power savings can be seen side by side.
