What is SARAL Portal?

SARAL stands for Systematic Administration & Reporting Advancement for Learning. The state level developed this student data management system, which Haryana uses most prominently.

SARAL is a comprehensive education management portal that handles student enrollment, attendance, academic records, teacher data, and school information - all in one system. Think of it as a state-level version of the national SDMS portal, but with more features tailored to the specific needs of that state.

How SARAL Connects with UDISE Plus

SARAL and UDISE Plus are two separate systems, but they share data:

• Schools in Haryana enter student data in SARAL (not in SDMS directly)
• SARAL syncs or exports this data to the national UDISE+ database
• The Ministry of Education receives the data through this integration
• National UDISE+ reports include this data from SARAL-using states
