UDISE+ Report: One-Third of Indian Schools Lack Internet Connectivity

The latest UDISE+ report released on August 17, 2026, indicates that while 67.4% of Indian schools have internet access, nearly one-third remain without connectivity.

The data highlights a significant digital divide, particularly in rural areas, which hinders the implementation of modern digital learning initiatives.

The Ministry of Education is expected to use these findings to prioritize infrastructure funding for schools in underserved regions over the next fiscal year.
