        \n
      1. Data Collection and Management<\/strong>: UDISE+ collects real-time information on school infrastructure, teachers, student enrollment, and academic performance.<\/li>\n
      2. Policy Formulation<\/strong>: This data helps the Ministry of Education create outcome-based policies to enhance education quality.<\/li>\n
      3. Resource Allocation<\/strong>: By improving resource distribution, UDISE+ ensures that schools receive necessary support.<\/li>\n
      4. Monitoring Programs<\/strong>: UDISE+ aids in tracking educational programs and trends to optimize their effectiveness.<\/li>\n
      5. Student Data Integration<\/strong>: Linked with APAAR, it helps manage student admissions and reduce dropout rates.<\/li>\n
      6. Collaborations<\/strong>: Works with DigiLocker and ed-tech companies to modernize education.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        What Legal Standards Apply?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
          \n
        1. Supreme Court’s Three-Part Test<\/strong>: State actions must have a legitimate interest, be necessary and proportionate, and be imposed by law.<\/li>\n
        2. Right to Privacy<\/strong>: Recognized as a fundamental right in the 2018 Justice K.S. Puttaswamy case.<\/li>\n
        3. Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023<\/strong>: Requires specific and voluntary consent for data collection and sharing.<\/li>\n

          2. Data Security<\/strong>: Protecting sensitive student data from theft and cyber breaches is a major concern.<\/li>\n
          3. Regulatory Updates<\/strong>: The data-sharing policy for school education needs updating to reflect regulatory changes post the DPDP Act, 2023.<\/li>\n
          4. Identification of Actors<\/strong>: There is a need to identify roles such as data fiduciary, data processor, and data principal for liability purposes.<\/li>\n
          5. Grievance Redressal<\/strong>: There is no clear mechanism for grievance redressal related to data sharing and collection.<\/li>\n
          6. Standard Operating Procedures<\/strong>: The absence of technical and legal protocols affects the management of data authenticity and stakeholder obligations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
