District Information
System for Education (DISE) developed
by NUEPA, New Delhi under
implementation in all the districts of
the country is the monitoring tool of
the Government’s flagship
programme,
Sarva
Shiksha
Abhiyan.
All the District Elementary Education
Plans under SSA are being based on
data generated through DISE annually.
For the year 2008-09, 1.3 million
schools have been covered under DISE
which has been received from 70,000
clusters, 7,000 blocks and 633
districts spread over 35 States and
Union Territories of the Country. A
set of seven publications are being
brought out by NUEPA every year all
which are based on the DISE Data. The
project covers both Primary and Upper
Primary schools of all the districts
of the country.
DISE has completely eliminated
the time-lag in availability of
educational statistics which has come
down drastically from 7-8 years to
less than a year at the national and
only a few months at the district and
state levels. DISE at NUEPA is
supported by the Ministry of Human
Resource Development and UNICEF.
The National University
has successfully developed School
Report Cards of more than 1.30 million
Primary and Upper Primary schools
which are available online (www.schoolreportcards.in)
. In addition to quantitative
information, the Report Cards also
provide qualitative information and a
descriptive report about individual
schools. The Report Cards are
produced to provide users
comprehensive information on all the
vital parameters, be it student,
teacher or school related variables,
yet concise, accurate information
about each school in a standard format
which is easy to understand and allows
meaningful comparisons to be made
among schools. A number of scholars
from across the World are exclusively
working on DISE data.
