Chhattisgarh emerges leader in APAAR ID creation among large states

Chhattisgarh has taken a lead among other larger states in implementing the Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR) system by generating 50,60,941 IDs for students as of January 7.

 

This is 88.63 per cent coverage out of the 57,10,207 students in 57,045 schools across the state, representing the state’s big leap towards digital education infrastructure.

 

With this, Chhattisgarh has emerged as a leading state among the country’s bigger states in generating the IDs, a permanent and secure digital academic identity for students, a state government spokesperson said.

 

At the district level, Bemetara has recorded the highest coverage with 96.40 per cent of students getting their APAAR IDs, followed closely by Rajnandgaon at 96.38 per cent. In addition, districts such as Raigarh, Korea, Raipur, Korba, Dhamtari, Durg and Balodabazar have completed APAAR ID creation for over 93 per cent of their students. Except for Narayanpur, Bijapur, Sukma, Balrampur and Dantewada, all other districts have achieved more than 80 per cent coverage in APAAR ID generation, the spokesperson added.

 

 

The process of creating APAAR IDs for the remaining students is progressing steadily across all districts. In accordance with the directions of the state government, teachers and concerned officials are advancing this task on priority, ensuring that no student is deprived of this initiative by the Union government.

 

The central government has issued clear instructions to ensure that APAAR IDs for all students are generated by January 31. In this direction, the state government is making time-bound and coordinated efforts to achieve the target within the stipulated deadline, the spokesperson said.

 

Through the APAAR ID system, every student will receive a permanent digital academic identity in which their academic achievements, certificates and credits will be securely stored in digital form. This system will play a crucial role in strengthening academic continuity, transparency and nationwide academic mobility for students.
