APAAR Card: One Student ID For All; Streamlining Education In India

Aligned with NEP 2020, the government plans to expansively introduce “One Nation, One Student ID” to schools. This groundbreaking initiative, initially for higher education, issued over 22 million students the APAAR card, a transformative 12-digit identifier. This card is reshaping the education landscape.

 

Aadhaar-Verified APAAR Card

Functioning as an Aadhaar-verified ID, the APAAR card is not just a conventional identification tool. It is a gateway to the Academic Bank of Credit (ABC), a digital repository for academic credits. Beyond that, it opens the door to Digilocker, a secure digital platform for storing crucial documents such as mark sheets and certificates. Essentially, the APAAR ID aims to become a lifelong academic identifier for students, seamlessly accompanying them from pre-primary education through their doctoral journey.

Acknowledging education’s state jurisdiction, the adoption of NEP 2020 initiatives isn’t mandatory. Anil Sahasrabuddhe, the National Educational Technology Forum chair, discloses ongoing talks with state governments. These discussions focus on implementing “One Nation, One Student ID” in schools. The initiative’s potential integration is a subject of active consideration.

 

The Promise Of Streamlined Processes

According to Sahasrabuddhe, this initiative is expected to revolutionize processes for students, schools, and the entire education system. The issuance of the unique 12-digit APAAR card under this initiative is set to facilitate the seamless monitoring of students’ academic progress from pre-primary education to higher education. This continuous monitoring proves especially advantageous for students whose parents undergo job transfers, ensuring uninterrupted educational journeys.
