Need for CTS

** Till 2005, DISE was the only source of the data base for the Elementary Education/ SSA in the state, providing the detail information of Infrastructure, Teacher & Enrollment.

** DISE provides the enrollment in number and there was the possibility of its over reporting due to existence of fake, duplicate & double enrollments in the school records.

** DISE doesn’t cover the list of out-of school children. There was no system for identification of an Out of School Children to provide him/her the need based educational facility.

However, Block wise no. of such children was collected arbitrarily through BRCCs/CRCCs and was compiled. There was no scope to identify the villages having more no. of Out of school children.

** For generation of educational indicators, the projected child population from Census-2001 was used.
** DISE doesn’t provide child wise achievement level or attendance rate.
