Key Questions Answered
The District Education Officer issued a final 3-day ultimatum to complete pending APAAR IDs for 54,180 students. Failure to meet this requirement may result in recommendations to declare the institution a 'zero year' for the academic session and strict disciplinary actions, including the cancellation of school recognition.
Private school managers report that the main reasons for the delayed ID generation are 'Aadhaar mismatches' where names, dates of birth, and other details on student Aadhaar cards do not match school records. Additionally, the online process has stalled because many parents failed to submit consent forms on time.
A total of 5,40,869 students are enrolled across Raipur district. Among them, 3,18,604 students attend private and madrasa schools, while 2,22,265 students are enrolled in government and aided schools.
