The Education Minister Ranoj Pegu took to X, saying "Attention all schools: Assam is rolling out the APAAR ID, a 12-digit lifelong digital identity for school-enrolled students. This initiative under the New Education Policy 2020 will streamline academic records, track student progress, and support students in their educational journey. Parents, join the Parent-Teacher Meetings to give consent for your child’s APAAR ID!"

The Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry or APAAR ID involves making a digital identity for the student's academic records, including examination results, co-curricular achievements, and specialized certifications. The 'One Nation, One Student ID' will be tied with the Academic Bank Credit, thus having interlinked records of these students in a national repository of academic credits.
