The process for the current academic year for those who joined kindergarten and Class I is yet to commence. The officials have requested parents to keep all documents clear as the APAAR ID will be required for various academic-related works in the future. The data of every candidate's academic performance is accessed through it.
Officials from SSK said that the major hurdle in not achieving 100% registration is because Dakshina Kannada has a lot of migrants coming from north Karnataka.
There are also a few from other districts. "The Aadhaar card is primarily used to create the APAAR ID. However, the issue is that names and other credentials don't match each other. The spelling and address are wrong, which is a major complaint. As a result, the officials are unable to generate it.
Also, they must go to their native places to rectify it, where they visit once or twice a year," an official said.
A teacher from a govt school near Bokkapatna, that sees the highest number of admissions from north Karnataka, shared a similar concern.
"We have so far been able to complete 80% registration. The rest is pending due to a mismatch of Aadhaar details. The name we have entered in the Student Tracking System is not there on the card. There are multiple spelling mistakes in their names. If there is a single spelling mistake, the system fails to complete the process," the teacher said.
Govinda Madivala, DDPI, Dakshina Kannada, said that the APAAR ID, an initiative started across the country last academic year, enhances efficiency, removes duplicity, minimises fraud, facilitates student mobility, and enhances academic flexibility. Therefore, every parent should provide the right documents for the process. This ID functions as a permanent digital identity for the student in the education ecosystem.
"The ID will be integrated with entrance exams in the coming year," he said.

DK schools continue to record zero admissions leading to closure
Mangaluru: Some schools in Dakshina Kannada continue to record zero admissions, leading to their closure. This academic year, to date, a total of 13 schools, including six government and aided educational institutions, received zero admissions. According to the school education and literacy department, every year, more than 10 schools in the district continued to receive zero admissions. In the 2024-25 academic year, a total of 14 schools in the district had zero enrolment. Govinda Madivala, DDPI, Dakshina Kannada, said that school admissions are open until the end of this month. "So far, as per the details available on the Student Achievement Tracking System, a total of 13 schools have received zero admissions to their Class I. Among them, six are government lower primary schools. Out of six aided schools, two are high schools and the rest are primary schools. One unaided school has also seen zero enrolments. Among the 13 schools, one is a special school situated in Surathkal." Madivala added that despite several schools receiving zero admissions, it has not made a difference to the total enrolment in the district, which is expected to reach a number similar to the previous academic year, which was around 3.3 lakh. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo "All six government schools with zero enrolment are lower primary schools. The preference for English medium education among people has weakened the Kannada medium classes in government schools. With the increase in bilingual medium schools, the enrolment in Kannada medium has significantly declined. There are a total of 238 bilingual medium schools in the district with new schools recently approved," an education department official stated. The official added that even when a government school is nearby, parents opt for English medium schools and enrol their children in private schools. There is intense competition for student enrolment in bilingual medium government schools, while enrolment in Kannada medium schools is declining. As for the aided schools, they are struggling without permanent teachers. In places without permanent staff, guest teachers are hired, and the management has to pay them. Therefore, the number of aided schools with zero admissions is increasing every year. Some of the aided schools that received zero admissions are Swami Muktananda Paramahamsa Higher Primary School near Moodbidri, St Philomena Higher Primary School, and Saverapura Kiripushpa Higher Primary School.

Ex-NRI Struggles With "General Rudeness" In India After Moving To Delhi-NCR: "Has US Made Me Soft?"
A Reddit post is going viral, detailing an ex-NRI's struggles to adjust to life in India after spending 12 years in the US. The user, who moved back to India three months ago, said that he is finding it tough to cope with the everyday rudeness he's encountered in Delhi-NCR, which has become a normal part of daily life. He questioned if his time in the US had made him "soft". He further cited one such instance at a well-known Delhi clinic, where he encountered unfriendly staff, from receptionists to nurses. He also faced poor treatment at an Aadhaar centre, where staff behaviour improved only when a manager intervened. Even a neighbour's request to remove a security camera was made in an aggressive tone, adding to his struggles adjusting to everyday interactions in India. "I have noticed that people who live in posh societies and work in polished offices are the ones who seem to have a lot of attitude. Why? They live a relatively easy life in a city where I have seen people go through a lot of struggles. I grew up in small cities all over the country (Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Orissa, Telangana, Karnataka, Rajasthan). After retirement, my parents moved to Noida. I am used to the culture of small cities - more polite and more friendly I would say," he wrote. See the post here: by u/Careless-Opinion-801 in returnToIndia He attributed his habits of politeness, such as saying thank you and greeting others, to his time in the US. However, in India, he now finds that these gestures are frequently met with silence or indifference. " As I am re-adjusting after 12+ years in the US, I am re-learning to grow a thicker skin. It will take some time, but a part of me yearns for a home in the green hills of Konkan - away from big crowds and all the issues associated with it. However, my parents need access to top-tier medical facilities, and I have to live in or near major cities due to this constraint. I am a quiet and introverted person, and I wish I could move to a place which matches my soul," he added. Many others who have made similar moves share their experiences, highlighting the challenges of adapting to local customs, navigating bureaucratic hurdles, and rebuilding social connections. One user wrote, "Yes, people lack civic sense. I am compelled to wonder if they're actually insecure and compensate it with their rude demeanour. Even at work, people throw a lot of attitude. Maybe they don't even understand the difference between embracing solitude vizaviz being rude. lol." Another commented, "I think this is something to do with our culture, socioeconomics, and lifestyle... Life isn't easy for the majority of Indians. They have to go through this kind of rude behaviour in their day-to-day lives. Low pay, extra hours work, family pressures... These things have an impact on ones behaviour. Also, one guy influences another, like you mentioned how you want to change." A third said, "This was always the case unfortunately. One thing that I really despise in India. People take advantage of you if you're nice and kind, when in reality these are supposed to be basic manners that everyone should have."
