    The Aspirations Ecosystem encompasses both tangible and intangible factors present in a child's environment, which significantly shape their ability to aspire and consequently impact their educational, employment, and life outcomes.

    Drawing upon Amartya Sen's Capability Approach, the Aspirations Index serves as an econometric framework designed to gauge the aspirational capacity of individuals aged 10 to 24 in India. At the state level, this Index aims to evaluate and quantify the presence and efficacy of the Aspirations Ecosystem, providing insights into its existence and effectiveness.
