Sri Vijaya Puram, Nov. 20: APAAR, which stands for Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry, is a specialized identification system designed for all students in India. This initiative is part of the 'One Nation, One Student ID' program launched by the GoI, aligning with the new National Education Policy of 2020. For students, APAAR functions as a digital record. APAAR also empowers students to accumulate and store their academic accomplishments, facilitating seamless transitions between institutions for the pursuit of further education. The APAAR ID simplifies the processes of credit recognition and transfer right from the school level, thereby, streamlining academic progression and recognition of prior learning.

The Department of Education, A&N Administration has commenced APAAR generation for students of all management schools in the month of October, 2024 in 408 Schools across the Union Territory. It is pertinent to mention that as of today, APAARs have been successfully generated for 61,917 students out of 67,692 students, representing a significant 91.46% achievement rate, thereby securing first rank at National level.

In order to achieve 100% target, the Department of Education, Andaman & Nicobar Administration has urged the parents of the remaining students, to take the necessary steps to complete the APAAR generation process as soon as possible.
