CM's domicile policy announcement triggers political slugfest
Patna: In a political slugfest, the opposition Grand Alliance on Monday accused the Nitish Kumar govt of copying their schemes and implementing it as its own in Bihar for votes. The ruling JD(U) questioned the RJD over nominating outsiders like Sanjay Yadav from Haryana to the Rajya Sabha from Bihar quota. CM Nitish Kumar on Monday announced domicile policy in the appointment of teachers in the state. The teacher aspirants had been demanding domicile policy in Bihar and threatened the govt with the slogan of 'No domicile, no vote' in the assembly elections due in Bihar later this year. Student leader Dilip said this is the victory of students. "Heartfelt thanks to the CM of Bihar," he said. But RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, in a sarcastic post on X wrote: "It is a matter of immense happiness that the ideologically bankrupt NDA govt, which used to outright reject our demand for implementing the domicile policy in Bihar, is copying our announcement like our other schemes. It is clear that this copycat NDA govt has no policy and vision of its own. The govt is dancing to our tunes, demands and announcements. " Tejashwi further said, "Be it the issue of social security pension, free electricity unit, govt jobs, increase in honorarium of cooks, night watchmen and physical education and health instructors, ASHA and Mamta workers or formation of youth commission, this govt of 20 years has copied our every announcement, scheme, vision and demand and hastily announced these in the election year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I thought my dad was 'boring'.

" Reacting to the RJD allegations, JD(U) state chief spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said the Nitish govt has implemented domicile in the interest of the state. Taking a dig at the RJD, he said, "We have taken this decision in the interest of Bihari youth. Now the opposition, especially the RJD, should implement it in politics. Rajya Sabha nomination (Sanjay Yadav) was brought from Haryana. The rights of the youth of Bihar were usurped. They called from Singapore (Rohini Acharya) and gave tickets but did not care about the daughter living in Bihar. One who can have two voter cards will surely have double standards in his words," Neeraj said. But Prashant Kishor of Jan Surraj Party said the implementation of domicile is a victory of democracy and the people of Bihar.

State begins merging edu data systems to reduce teachers' workload
1 2 Pune: The state govt has initiated the integration of two key educational data systems — Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE) and Systematic Administrative Reforms for Achieving Learning by Students (SARAL). The fusion will streamline data entry processes and eliminate duplication of work which has long been a pain point for over 7.43 lakh teachers in the state. At present, teachers have to enter the same student-related information such as attendance, academic performance, enrolment, dropout data, and infrastructure details into both platforms on both portals.

Under the new plan, the state's 2.11 crore school students will now be mapped through a unified system, enabling teachers to update and manage data from a single point of access, the education department said. Maharashtra Samagra Shiksha is spearheading the initiative. "From this academic year, the process of integrating information from the UDISE and SARAL systems has begun," director Sanjay Yadav said. He added that education officers have been told to ensure that no student is left out of school. "The integrated system will be more teacher-friendly and reduce time spent on non-teaching tasks, allowing educators to focus more on classroom engagement and student learning outcomes," Yadav said. The move is seen as part of a larger effort to modernise the state's education management system and support the goals of National Education Policy which emphasises reducing non-academic workload on teachers. Mahendra Ganpule, former vice-president of Maharashtra Headmasters' Association, said, "Teachers will now be able to enter information at one time and in one place, saving them time and effort." More time for teaching efforts Teachers entered students' personal information into the SARAL system, including names, classes, attendance, and detailed basic information The central govt's UDISE system required comprehensive information about the school, physical facilities, school activities, libraries, students' bank accounts, scholarships, and materials quote Entering information into both govt online systems consumed a significant amount of teachers' time which also led to neglect in improving educational standards. This integration will be crucial for accreditation and exam management Rajesh Deshmukh I A ZP teacher from Velhe Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !

UDISE, SARAL portals combined, reduces workload for schools
The Union Government's Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+) portal and Maharashtra State Government's Systematic Administrative Reforms for Achieving Learning by Students (SARAL) portal have been combined for the academic year 2025, reducing non-teaching workload in schools and freeing up more time for teaching. A July 18 circular by Sanjay Yadav, state project director of Maharashtra Prathmik Shikshan Parishad, said that the information uploaded on the UDISE+ portal will be included in the SARAL portal, and care will be taken to ensure no student is left out of school. The deadline for schools to register the information online has been set at September 30. Information like the principal's name, phone number, and email id, along with the school's location, address, longitude and latitude, has to be entered in the online portal. Physical infrastructure like the school building, washrooms for boys and girls, drinking water facility, playground, library, electrical facilities, boundary walls, playground, computers, and laboratories must also be mentioned. Details of all students passing from class 2 to class 12 must also be updated. Benefits given to students like free uniforms, free textbooks, 25% RTE admissions, disabled students, scholarships, etc, must also be updated. The principal in-charge of a Pune Municipal Corporation-run school, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Indian Express, 'Combining UDISE+ and SARAL will definitely reduce the workload of principals and teachers. However, the government should reduce more online work as it eats into teachers' teaching time. Online information filling like DBT, VSK Chat bot, daily student attendance, midday meal attendance, etc, take up a lot of time and teachers are not able to give time to teaching adequately.' The circular mentioned that 95 per cent of students who were enrolled the previous academic year have had their Aadhar registered and that in the current academic year, the newly enrolled students' Aadhar cards must also be validated. It also mentioned that 86% students in the previous academic year had registered for the APAAR ID and for students not yet registered, permission should be obtained from the parents and the registration should be completed. It is important to note that the APAAR ID is not mandatory. A document on its website clearly stated, 'APAAR is not mandatory. While APAAR is a cornerstone initiative for enhancing academic tracking and flexibility, participation in the APAAR system is not compulsory. Institutions and students can choose to utilize this system to benefit from its features, such as holistic assessment and credit management, but there is no legal requirement mandating its use.' The circular states that 93% teachers have completed their Aadhar validation. Any teachers that face difficulties in validating their Aadhar should check if the details match. Teachers' educational details like or other qualifications must also be accurately recorded.
