India Number of Schools

School count in India by management type (Total, Government, Aided, Private Unaided, Others - including unrecognized schools, all madrasas, and Veda/Sanskrit/Gurukul/Pathashala institutions). Note: data spans two systems - UDISE (NIEPA) 2014-15 to 2017-18 and UDISE+ (MoE) 2018-19 to 2025-26, so levels aren't comparable across the switch. Read trend within each segment.
