Madhya Pradesh launches a state initiative to issue APAAR, an Aadhaar-like unique digital identification, to students across the state. The programme targets 1.45 crore students, according to reporting from multiple outlets. The IDs are intended to link and manage a child’s educational records in a standardized digital format.
Officials describe the effort as a way to keep educational information safe and accessible digitally. Both outlets frame the move as part of a broader approach to uniquely identify students so their academic details can be stored and tracked over time. While the articles differ mainly in how they describe the purpose—one emphasizes the scale and roll-out, while the other highlights data safety and secure storage—they align on the core facts: the initiative is launched in Madhya Pradesh, it issues APAAR IDs for school students, and the IDs are designed to function like Aadhaar-style unique identifiers.
