However, for state level calculation, this category itself is not feasible unless we use state reported activities, which, again needs enough thinking as to which variable to take. The EGI indicators are:

Government Schemes and Development Programs

24) Number of Government Schemes and Development Programs in each state.

The indicator for state level calculation chosen is a number of government schemes and development programs in each state, as the idea of state government reporting to central government or other institutions on environment and/or gender is non-existent. This indicator could act as a category on its own instead of country reported activities.
