A total of 24 lakh students were found bogus in a students survey in 2012. The PIL was filed in 2012 for action against those who are guilty.The State Government 2012 decided to take action against the schools if it shows 50 students (per cent) bogus out of total strength of 100.

The private education schools management in connivance with education department officers committed the irregularities.A total of 1404 schools were found guilty in 2012. But, the action of salary recovery was initiated against 293 primary and 52 secondary schools on the basis of a 50 per cent bogus strength parameter.The State Government implemented ‘Saral System’ to reduce irregularities. It has students' database and details like Aadhar card numbers and unique ID and shows academic benefits, scholarships, free uniform and stationery, availing mid-day meal scheme. Its responsibility was entrusted to headmasters, class teachers and education department officers.As per the Saral System, it is mandatory to attach data of students with Aadhar card. Pune-based NIC released students' Aadhar data dated February 10, 2022. As per the data, the strength of students in 36 districts is 2.10 crore while Aadhar card of only over 1.83 crores students was linked with the system.
