Delivering keynote address, Emilo Patton, District Education Officer Kohima-Cum-District Project Coordinator DMA, SS Kohima said the main objective of UDISE+ is to collect data from different schools across the country so that the government can bring about reforms in the education sector.

UDISE+ has become the major source of information in India’s educational system, she said adding that it helps to collect school details and its resources.

“It has become the unique identity for every school. Each school is provided with a unique 11 digit code that ensures that the school is under the supervision of the Government of India,” she said.

“If our educational system from all angles does not fit in our society it becomes meaningless. Times have changed and in this changing environment, our educational system must fit in the changing environment,” she said.

Patton also said the best possible education should be given to the students in the right way at the right time and at the right place.

The strength and achievements of schools depend on the quality of education, Patton said adding that “Therefore to bring about changes and improvement in the educational system, UDISE+ was created which is one of the largest management information from the UDISE+ data.

She said that UDICE helps “us to know the overall status of school education.”

UDISE+ is one of the largest Management Information Systems initiated by the Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Education, Government of India. The entire system is online and has been collecting data in real-time.

‘Every school must furnish facts correctly’

She said the data will help the planners in formulating the best strategy suitable for the downtrodden and neglected section of the society who are unable to afford basic education.
