What is SchoolsPedia?
SchoolsPedia is a free school directory for India. We index records for over 16,53,159 schools from the UDISE+ database and make them easy to search by school name, village, district, or UDISE code.
We built this because finding a school’s official information through government portals is harder than it should be. UDISE+, District Information offices, state board sites — information is scattered. We pull it into one place and make it searchable.
Where Does Our Data Come From?
School data is sourced from the official UDISE+ (Unified District Information System for Education Plus) dataset released by the Department of School Education & Literacy, Ministry of Education, Government of India. Literacy, demographic, and population statistics are referenced from the Census of India (Office of the Registrar General & Census Commissioner).
We maintain data integrity by reflecting official public disclosures directly. We do not invent, synthesize, or alter school records or postal codes. If an official data point is unverified or missing in government repositories, we present it transparently rather than estimating or guessing.
Who Uses SchoolsPedia?
- Parents looking to check if a school is government-registered, or finding nearby schools in a village.
- Students who need their school’s 11-digit UDISE code for NSP scholarships or board exam forms.
- Researchers and NGOs mapping school coverage in rural blocks or studying literacy data by district.
Who Runs SchoolsPedia?
SchoolsPedia is run by a small team of writers and developers. We keep school records accurate, write practical guides about admissions and UDISE codes, and update data whenever UDISE+ releases new records.
