pulse survey report data there is a possibility to trace out the 70% students
i.e.,5.6 lakhs students in CBSE Schools, Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navodaya Schools,
Un-recognized Schools and the remaining 30%
is 2.40 lakhs are to be verified and they might not be uploaded in Child Info on various reasons i.e.,
Migration, Over-age, under-age, Married, Death etc.,

Department of School Education has developed APGER App to trace out the missing
children in connection with A.P., Pulse Survey Report. Accordingly one model survey has also been
conducted in Kallur(M), Kurnool District and got accurate list of Out of School

Department of municipal Administration, Department of Adult Education and other
line departments to prepare modalities for verification of mission children in
Child Info and to develop strategies for
mainstreaming the OSC.
In the workshop it is
decided to conduct a special programme “Vidyarthi Ganana ” fortnight programme

technology based GER App. This programme
will be implemented in entire State from 21.07.2017 to 05.08.2017
