None of the States/UTs has attained the highest Grade i.e., Daksh.
The top-most grade attained in PGI 2.0 is Prachesta - 2, i.e., score range 641-700 indicating that a good proportion of score of the redundant indicators was contained in the total scores of States/UTs in the previous years.
Only 2 States and UTs, namely Punjab and Chandigarh have attained Grade Prachesta -2 (score 641-700) in PGI 2.0.
6 States/UTs joined Grade Prachesta - 3 (score 581- 640), 13 States/UTs joined grade Akanshi -1 (score 521-580), 12 States/UTs in grade Akanshi - 2 (score 461-520) and 3 States in grade Akanshi – 3 in PGI 2.0.
The maximum and minimum scores obtained by the States/UTs in 2021-22 are 659.01 and 420.64 respectively.
The deviation between the maximum and minimum scores obtained by States/UTs is 238.37 or 23.8% of the maximum points, indicating that, States Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and Mizoram has to put more effort to reach the top slot.
This disparity was 51% in 2017-18 indicating that, PGI also helped to bridge the performance gap amongst States/UTs over the years which may be due to efforts of the Government such as look East policy.
The reduction in Inter-State differential is also due to close monitoring of schemes through evidence based PGI which might have helped both the performing and aspiring States and UTs to improve their performance.

The lowest grade Akanshi-3 is for scores upto10% grade range. Thus, the position of a State/UT in different grading categories is relative and can change depending upon its performance in each year. At the same time, all States/UTs can occupy the highest-Grade Daksh simultaneously, and that is the ultimate objective of this exercise.
Since the grading and the indicators have undergone changes, the results of PGI 2.0 are not strictly comparable with the previous PGI reports, though the pattern of achievement seems to be like the previous PGI results.
