Residents in Hyderabad enjoy the best access to schools and public healthcare facilities among five of the country’s metros, suggests a Mint analysis

Millions move to India’s metros in search of a better life, but which metro delivers this the best? Answering this is difficult, but one measure could be access to education and public healthcare. Access to schools and health facilities are the first steps to a prosperous life. And taken together, Hyderabad fares the best on both measures among five of the country’s metros—Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad (Kolkata was excluded from this analysis because of lack of data).

For instance, according to the latest available data (as of August 2019), Hyderabad has the most schools (4,903) and, even after adjusting for population, has the greatest school density (0.57 schools for every 1,000 residents). The school data, compiled by the ministry of human resource development and the National Informatics Centre, includes all types of schools (private and public; primary and secondary; co-educational and non-coed). Chennai, with 1,478 schools at 0.26 schools per 1,000 residents, fares the worst.

The caveat with the entire analysis is that it focuses only on access and not quality. A city may have more schools but the number of schools says little about the quality of education they provide.
