Internet reaches 67.4% of Indian schools; one-third still lack connectivity
An important report counted how many schools in India have internet.
In the 2025-26 school year, about 67 out of every 100 schools had internet.
That is an improvement from the year before, when about 63 out of every 100 schools were connected.
But the report also found that around one in three schools still has no internet.
That means about 33 out of every 100 schools are still offline.
The report also looked at computers in schools.
About 70 out of every 100 schools now have computers, up from about 65 the year before.
Still, roughly three out of every ten schools do not have computers.
The numbers show schools are getting more connected, but many still need help to catch up.
Internet connectivity in Indian schools rose to 67.4% in 2025-26, up from 63.5% in 2024-25, according to UDISE+ data.
Nearly one-third of schools (32.6%) still have no internet access.
The share of schools with internet grew by 3.9 percentage points year-on-year.
Computer facilities rose to 69.9% of schools in 2025-26 from 64.7% the previous year.
About 30.1% of schools still lack computer facilities.
