This study examines shifts in educational inequality over time and explores disparities based on geographic and socioeconomic factors. Using data from two rounds of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4 and NFHS-5), we apply a Gini decomposition framework to distinguish between-group and within-group inequalities and employ a generalized ordered logistic regression model to assess determinants of educational attainment. Our findings indicate an overall increase in average years of schooling and a reduction in the Gini coefficient, yet significant disparities remain across gender, wealth status, and regional divisions. The results highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve access to education for rural populations, women, the Muslim community, and the Kashmir division. Strengthening school infrastructure, expanding e-learning resources, and promoting gender inclusive policies can help bridge these educational gaps and foster equitable progress. 2025 Elsevier Ltd Subject The topic of the resource Educational Inequality; Generalized ordered logistic regression; Gini decomposition; Jammu and Kashmir; National Family Health Survey (NFHS) Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Ltd Relation A related resource ISSN: 7380593; Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Article Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Restricted Access; Hardcopy may be available in the library Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource online
