Chandel, which is situated in the eastern most part of the country and shares more than 100 kms of open, porous international border with Myanmar, recorded a sharp improvement from its 30th position in the February rankings to the top rank. All the five districts which have recorded the most improved performance in June have made remarkable progress from their February rankings with Firozpur jumping to third position from 107 previously and Dhubri moving to the fourth position from 103. Kiphire in Nagaland bagged the fifth spot, improving upon its February ranking of 35. Sahibganj has been showing consistent improvement for the past few months. The June rankings have been released after a gap as data collection was stalled due to the second Covid wave. The second wave affected each district differently.

In Chandel district, authorities hired local transporters to reactivate the anganwadi centre located in the remote areas along the Indo-Myanmar border to help children and pregnant women meet their nutrition requirements. The local transporters are ready to face and overcome issues linked to insurgency and poor roads, seen as major obstacles by centrally hired transporters.
