Coverage: internal tracking devices and formats have been devised for each of the programs for every region. Monthly figures for all the programs are compiled across all locations and analyzed on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis to monitor the number of units, the number of children enrolled, the break-up of the enrolled children across age-group and gender and the attendance figures. For Read India we also monitor the number of villages covered in each district, the number of children reached, the amount of teacher learning material distributed, the number of teachers and volunteers trained etc. Monthly narrative reports sent by each region, detailing the activities undertaken, supplement this data. All these reports are complied and reviewed regularly by a National Program Monitoring Team.

National Coverage details: The following have been compiled by consolidating the numbers obtained from each state:
