New Delhi: The government has announced 'One Nation, One Student ID,' which will track students' academic and skill development journeys throughout their lives, according to the Minister of State for Education.

In a written reply, Dr Subhas Sarkar said, “India has launched National Educational Policy 2020 to provide holistic and multidisciplinary education with multiple entry and exit facilities. It also aims to ensure universal access to education at all levels, equitable and inclusive education and a lifelong learning ecosystem.”

The minister said, “To achieve these objectives, a registry framework is required to identify each entity to track the academic and skilling journey of the students/learners throughout his life with many uses such as transfer of credits, transfer from one institute to other institute etc.”

“It also aims to facilitate and track the integration of the programme with skill components, choice-based courses, planning and improvement in the curriculum as per the requirement of stakeholders,” he added, the New Indian Express reported.

He also stated that the data security requirements established by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) were followed to avoid any data breaches.

The government has introduced APAAR (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry). It has been envisioned as a unique ID system for all Indian students. Under this plan, each student would receive a lifelong ID.

The ID will also act as a portal to Digilocker, a digital system that allows students to digitally retain important documents and achievements such as exam scores and report cards.
