Education for All in India, Data Driven Insights
About Education for All in India: Data-Driven Insights
Welcome to Education for All in India, a trusted platform advancing universal school education in India since 1999. Founded by Prof. Arun C. Mehta, a pioneer in Educational Management Information Systems (EMIS) and the architect of the Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE), our website is a cornerstone for educators, policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders committed to transforming India’s education landscape.
Our Mission
We are dedicated to empowering India’s education system with accessible, data-driven resources for evidence-based planning and policy-making. Aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, we aim to ensure that every child has access to quality education by 2030. Through comprehensive reports, insightful analyses, and innovative tools, we highlight trends, address challenges, and promote inclusive education across India.
What We Offer
Rooted in Prof. Mehta’s legacy at the National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA), our platform provides diverse resources tailored to India’s education community:
- UDISE+ Data Analysis: In-depth analyses of UDISE+ data (2012-13 to 2023-24), covering Gross enrollment ratios (GER), dropout rates, school infrastructure, and primary enrolment trends. Our flagship report, School Education in India: Where Do We Stand? (UDISE+ 2023-24), offers a comprehensive overview.
- Samagra Shiksha Support: Tools like the Teacher’s Guide for SDMS-UDISE+ 2024-25 empower district, state, and national stakeholders to enhance program implementation and data accuracy.
- NEP 2020 Insights: Articles such as Computing Un-computed Indicators NEP 2020 explore retention rates, transition rates, and progress toward universal education goals.
- AI in Education: Resources like AI-driven Educational Data Management in India highlight AI’s potential to revolutionize planning and UDISE+ efficiency.
- Educational Planning Tools: Publications, including the UDISE+ Indicator Toolkit, provide knowledge on enrolment projections, equity analysis, and diagnostics.
- Rich Publications: E-books like Forty Years’ and historical analyses such as Elementary Education in India, Where do we stand? Analytical Reports offer valuable insights for researchers and practitioners.
Our Legacy and Existing Channels
Education for All in India builds on Prof. Arun C. Mehta’s ground-breaking work at NIEPA, where he developed UDISE, a global benchmark for education data systems, and advanced methodologies for enrolment projections and equity analysis. His seminal works, including Education for All in India, inform our content, blending rigorous data with innovative approaches like AI-driven analytics.
Our platform also hosts a wealth of historical and specialized channels that remain accessible, even a few of which are not featured in the revised menu structure:
- DPEP (District Primary Education Programme): Resources on this transformative initiative for universal primary education.
- RTE (Right to Education): Insights on the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, and its implementation.
- Census Data: Analyses integrating census data to contextualize educational trends.
- EMIS (Educational Management Information Systems): Materials on the evolution and impact of EMIS in India.
- Educational Planning: Concept & Methodology: Presents tools and techniques of education planning, focusing on disaggregated analysis of educational data and a set of modules.
- Educational Statistics: Comprehensive datasets and statistical analyses for researchers and planners.
- Other Channels: Specialized topics like enrolment trends, equity metrics, and historical education policies can be found at Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) Right to Education Act 2009 Educational Modules Real-Life Educational Data Training in Educational Planning
Why We Stand Out
Our platform uniquely combines UDISE+ data with expert analyses to address challenges like achieving 98% primary enrolment (2023-24) while tackling secondary dropout rates (~14%). By making complex data actionable, we empower stakeholders to design targeted interventions, align with Samagra Shiksha, and advance NEP 2020 goals.

- Educators: Tools to enhance teaching and data collection.
- Planners & Policymakers: Data-driven reports for strategic planning.
