(AUGUST-2025)

The Ministry of Education released a report on Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+) 2024-25 on school education of India which says that, since the beginning of UDISE +, the total number of teachers has crossed the 1 crore mark in 2024–25.

It is an educational management information system under the Department of School Education & Literacy, Ministry of Education under the Government of India.
UDISE+ functions as a central platform that enables respective schools to efficiently record and submit data related to its profile (infrastructure & facilities), individual students and teachers’ details.
This is done in real-time mode by all recognised schools that provide formal, and special education in any of the school categories (that is, from pre-primary to higher secondary levels) throughout the country each academic year.
The recorded data is validated by the MIS and other designated officials at the block, district and state levels; and monitored at four levels, including the national.

Each onboarded school is provided a unique 11-digit UDISE code & login credentials to complete data entry and its modification in real-time.
School User Directory module enables onboarding of schools, and management of designated users who can submit data on the UDISE+. This module enables block, district, state and national level user overall management of the UDISE+.
The data on school profile, students and teachers is reported in three distinct but integrated modules:
School profile & facilities: Infrastructure details and services and facilities available in schools are recorded in this module.
Student module: General and academic profile of each student, including extracurricular activities, are recorded and maintained in this module using the Permanent Education Number
Teacher Profile: General, academic and appointment details of all teaching and non-teaching staff are recorded and maintained individually in this module.
