In Jammu and Kashmir the authorities have implemented the National Education Policy which is giving a new shape and direction to the education system here.

As a part of the National Education Policy, a new enrolment drive to bring the children to schools under ‘Aao School Chalein Campaign’ witnessed 14.5% increase in the enrolment in 2021-22 as compared to 2020-21 in J&K.
1,65,000 students have been enrolled in various schools of J&K UT. Under the unique initiative of the School Education Department, TALAASH Survey was launched. Through this initiative 20 Lakh children have been surveyed and out of which, 93,508 students have been found out of schools or never enrolled. Mainstreaming of out-of-school children has been initiated in the appropriate age schools. The government of Jammu and Kashmir is committed to provide education with a value system to all meritorious students.
