It is observed that in most of the states, the learning achievement of the children at elementary level is deteriorating but not rapidly. It has also come out that higher literacy among parents;availability of some school related factors like Mid-day Meal, proper drinking water,sanitation and playground facilitycan play a positive role to improve the learning achievement of the rural Indian children at elementary level
