Abstract The key targets of SDG 4 focus on ensuring that all girls and boys complete free and quality primary and secondary education, increasing skills for employment among youth and adults, and eliminating gender disparities in education. Sustainable development involves meeting present demands without compromising the needs of future generations. Quality education is essential for all, particularly vulnerable groups such as poor youth, rural children, persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples, and refugees. Education fosters intellect and self-respect, paving the way for community contributions and prosperity.In Northeast India, the Gender Parity Index (GPI) shows variations in gender equality in education, influenced by digitalisation efforts. Data from the Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE+) reveal that states like Manipur, Meghalaya, and Mizoram demonstrate lower gender inequality in literacy and other indicators. At the same time, Tripura, Assam, and Sikkim face more challenges. Despite progress indicated by UDISE data on digitalisation and GPI analysis, disparities persist, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to confirm equitable access to education for all.
