Bihar: Patna. 8564 private schools of Bihar have not yet registered with U-DISE (Unified District Information System for Education). In such a situation, thousands of children studying in these schools are not able to get admission in other schools. In the new session, parents of many children studying in these schools want to get their children admitted in other schools, but due to lack of U-DISE number of the school on TC, they are not able to get admission. Actually, Bihar government has made U-DISE registration number mandatory for TC.

A database has to be prepared about schools across the country. Under this, every school is given a U-DICE number. The school concerned is identified by this number. Through this, information has to be obtained about the number of government and private schools across the country, the number of teachers there along with the basic structure of the school etc. According to this, the Ministry of Education provides funds under various heads to the schools.
