Reviewing the progress of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) at a high-level meeting, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday called for an aptitude test for all students as well as a greater synergy between the Digital India initiative and related programmes of the SSA.
Modi also said each school in the country should set targets to be achieved by 2022.
SSA, a flagship programme under the HRD Ministry, aims to achieve universalisation of elementary education in a time-bound manner. It has been operational since 2000-01.

He further said basic data for all school teachers, such as Aadhaar numbers, email IDs and mobile numbers should be maintained in a database.
