The time-lag in availability of educational statistics has comedown to less than a year at the national level and only few months at state and district levels. I am confidentthat DISE would play an important role in monitoring the implementation of Right to Education Act. Infact, the data capture format and information collection processes have already been suitably modified.Besides launching one million plus School Report Cards, a set of eight publications exclusively based onthe DISE data are being brought out by the National University each year. It is a great pleasure for me topresent (a) DISE Flash Statistics: Elementary Education in India: Progress towards UEE, (b) ElementaryEducation in India: Where Do We Stand; District & State Report Cards; (c) Analytical Report & AnalyticalTables, and (d) Elementary Education in Rural & Urban India which together encompass different aspectsof universalisation of elementary education for the past more than eight years.I take this opportunity to congratulate everyone involved in strengthening of MIS at various levels and forwinning three prestigious National Awards (e-Governance, eINDIA and Manthan South Asia) in 2010.I thank the DISE team led by Prof. Arun C. Mehta for bringing out this publication. I hope that researchers,policy makers, administrators and planners will find the publication both informative and useful.New DelhiJune, 2012(R Govinda)
