In the year 2018-19, the UDISE+ method of online data collection from schools was organized to address concerns linked to manual data input in paper format and subsequent feeding at the block or district level, which was used in the UDISE data collection system from 2012-13. The latest publication is related to UDISE+ data for the reference year 2019-20.
About UDISE+
The Ministry of Education launched the Unified District Information on School Education (UDISE) in 2012-13, combining the DISE for elementary education and the SEMIS for secondary education to create one of the largest management information systems for school education, with over 15 lakh schools, 85 lakh teachers, and 25 crore students covered.
The UDISE+ is a new and enhanced version of the UDISE.
