The Jammu and Kashmir Education Department (JEPC) will begin updating the child register on 10 November to help locate children not enrolled in schools.
The Jammu and Kashmir Education Department (JEPC) announced that it will start updating the child register from 10 November. The move aims to identify children who are not currently enrolled in any school.
By cross‑checking the updated register with local school records, JEPC hopes to pinpoint families where children have dropped out or never joined a school in the first place. The department will work with district education officers and local authorities to verify the information.
Officials say the updated register will serve as a tool for targeted outreach programmes and will help the state meet its enrolment targets. The initiative is part of a broader effort to improve educational access across Jammu and Kashmir.
