This is one of the important channels of the
website: Education
for All in India that presents latest data on school
education in India most of which were being published by the Department
of Higher Education of the Ministry of Human Resource Development,
Government of India. Selected Educational Statistics (SES) was one of the
important publications of the MHRD which is presented for
different years. From the year 2012-13, all publications of the Ministry
of Education in case of School Education is based on U-DISE data
(NIEPA). Apart from the MHRD and
U-DISE, data from the other sources, such as, NCERT's All India
Educational Survey, National
Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) and Census of India have also been
covered.
Apart from the school education, latest available information
collected through the All India Higher Education Survey has also been
presented. Traditionally MHRD is the main agency responsible for the
statistics on higher education in India. In between, UGC was also made
responsible for data on higher education. Like school education in
India, data on higher education was never free from limitations amongst
which time-lag and under coverage of higher education institutions were
the main. Disaggregated data and poor dissemination were the other
limitations. Because of the time-lag, Five Year Plans, as well as,
annual plans were used to be based on outdated data. Various attempts
were made to improve upon the limitations in the data on higher
education but most of these efforts didn't bear results. Sometimes
near 2010, India envisaged a 30 percent GER by the year 2020 but
unfortunately the available data on higher education was incomplete
which resulted into the Ministry of HRD envisage launching All India
Higher Education Survey (AIHES) in India in 2011-12 responsibility of
which was initially given to NIEPA but the same was later transferred to
Ministry. NIC played an important role and developed online
PDF-based application to capture data directly from the higher education
institutions from across the country. AIHES is termed as one of the
successful initiatives towards developing an efficient MIS for the
higher education in India. This section of the website presents data
generated through the AIHES and reports based on it for different years.
