Telangana Joins the Process

The state of Telangana is actively participating in this initiative, with APAR IDs already issued to 7.75 crore students across India. However, Telangana’s progress, as of December 18, has been slower, with only 2.10 lakh students (3% of the target) receiving their IDs. To expedite this process, the state’s Director of School Education, EV Narasimha Reddy, has issued key directives.

What Students and Schools Need to Do

The accuracy of APAR IDs relies heavily on the alignment of student details in Aadhaar and school records. To ensure this:

1. Parents and students are encouraged to correct discrepancies in Aadhaar details first.
2. Schools should then update the corrected details in their records by January 31.
3. Authorities such as MEOs, gazetted principals, and Deputy EOs/DEOs have been empowered to make these changes.

The Importance of APAR ID

The APAR ID is more than just a unique identifier. It offers several benefits:

• Unified Academic Record: Tracks a student’s academic journey from primary education to higher studies.
• Portability: Facilitates seamless transfers between schools and states without losing records.
• Academic Bank of Credit (ABC): Links the APAR ID to a secure digital repository for certificates and academic credits.
• Support for Dropouts: Makes it easier to reintegrate students who rejoin education after dropping out.

A Milestone for Education

Launched in 2023, the One Nation One Student ID initiative represents a major shift in how student data is managed, enhancing both efficiency and security. For Telangana, achieving full implementation will pave the way for a more robust and transparent educational system.

With the deadline for Aadhaar and school record corrections fast approaching, students, parents, and schools are encouraged to act promptly to ensure smooth APAR ID issuance.

To achieve this, all government and private schools in Andhra Pradesh are tasked with registering accurate student data, as errors in details like date of birth or Aadhaar number could impact students’ academic records and future opportunities. However, the process has hit roadblocks: so far, only 67.47% of the 80,38,812 total student records have been registered. Certain districts, including Nellore, Sri Satya Sai, and Anantapur, are still behind in generating APAAR data.

AP United Teachers Federation (UTF) president N. Venkateswarlu emphasized the need for consistency across school records, UDISE (Unified District Information System for Education), Aadhaar, and other essential documents for APAAR to recognize the data. While school records and UDISE details can be verified at the school level, mismatches in Aadhaar data remain challenging. This has also put added pressure on teachers, many of whom lack sufficient computer skills to manage the digital requirements of APAAR. UTF representatives, including Kakinada district general secretary Chakravarthi, have suggested the state government provide dedicated computer technicians to assist with the data registration process.

In cases where Aadhaar information needs correction, parents may face additional delays as it takes up to 15–21 days for updates. According to West Godavari district education officer S. Narayana, this additional time affects the overall progress of APAAR registration. As officials work to address these challenges, the education department and government remain committed to ensuring accurate, timely student data for APAAR.
