Note: ASER 2007 survey was carried out in October and November 2007. One govt. school with primary grades was visited in the sampled village. If there was more than one govt. school with primary grades, then the school with the highest enrollment was visited. Hence the schools visited in the survey do not represent a random sample from the district. The school visits were generally done either on a Saturday or a Monday.
