For every census village of Kerala, whether each kind of educational institution is present in the village, run by government or by private bodies, and how many there are. The kinds are pre-primary, primary, middle, secondary and senior secondary schools, arts and science, engineering and medical colleges, management institutes, polytechnics, ITIs, non-formal training centres, schools for disabled children and others. Where the village has none, the directory gives the nearest village or town, whether that facility is government or private, and a distance band. Use it to find villages with no school of a given level within reach.
