The Honorable Minister has been quite pleased to note the enormous efforts of the NUEPA,
the Ministry of HRD and the UNICEF that went into the significant publication, and extends
his compliments to all those behind the arduous compilation which would be of immense
value to the policy-makers and researchers on the subject.

It must be conceded that the DISE does represent a significant advancement over the earlier
systems of data collection, compilation, analysis and publications. In terms of reduction of
time-lag and improvement of quality, it represents a phenomenal stride over all the other
system.
DISE can be said to have emerged as a time-tested ‘model’ to serve educational statistics.
It must become the only system and shall be upgraded to cover Secondary and Senior
Secondary stages also.
