India, in the details.
India's public surveys hold millions of lives in their rows. We turn them into visual stories you can enter, question and compare.
Not a dashboard. A way in.
A national average is useful. It is also a place almost nobody lives.
These stories begin with a question, a place or a household. The chart changes as you answer. Every number keeps its survey, year and denominator close by.

How many studied past primary school? How many salaried workers have the protections of a secure job? Pick a place, then change the lens.
Source: PLFS 2024-25 (January-December 2025, first visit), survey-weighted. “Secure jobs” covers salaried employees outside farming with a written contract, paid leave and social security. Unemployment is among the labour force aged 15+.

Who gets left behind?
Where do I stand?
India, mapped.
What is your inflation?
The survey should be the beginning of the conversation.
Every visual story links back to the source, keeps the denominator visible and says what the data cannot answer.
