The study aimed to assess the readiness of selected sub-centres across the districts of Andhra Pradesh to transition into Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs). It also sought to understand the health-seeking behaviours of the population, particularly focusing on Out-of-Pocket Expenditures (OOPE) and the sources of care for the 12 essential services provided under HWCs. This study was conducted across 13 districts with a focus on rural and tribal areas.
Convergent was the data partner for the MIT/J-PAL study with 10,000 Grade 9 students to examine how they approach and solve written mathematics problems. The data gave insights into students’ problem-solving strategies, common errors, and conceptual understanding to inform AI algorithms being developed to improve mathematics education in India.
