Guwahati, Sept 23: For all school-enrolled students in Assam, the State Education Department has introduced the registration of a lifelong 12-digit Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR ID).

This initiative is part of the “One Nation, One Student ID” programme, aligning with the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The APAAR ID will be generated only for students with valid Aadhaar ID and Permanent Education Number (PEN), utilising the UDISE+ portal at the school level.

The education department highlighted that the consent of parents or guardians is essential for the generation of the APAAR ID.

In August, in a run-up to the APAAR launch, the Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) had issued a directive to principals and headmasters of all affiliated schools, mandating the organisation of Aadhaar update camps.

The Aadhaar camps targeted students aged 5-7 and 15-17 years, ensuring they complete the Mandatory Biometric Update (MBU) and link their mobile numbers to their Aadhaar.

Taking to X, Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu said, “Assam is rolling out the APAAR ID, a 12-digit lifelong digital identity for school-enrolled students. This initiative under the New Education Policy 2020 will streamline academic records, track student progress, and support students in their educational journey. Parents, please join the Parent-Teacher Meetings to give consent for your child’s APAAR ID!”
