Requested so much time to the authority of previous school but they straight forward sad that we don't have yours please don't disturb again . please give some guidence is it possible to generate new pen for the one's who don't have it .
(Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh)You may approach along with your parents to the office of BEO(Block Educational Officer) or equivalent Educational Officer and get know the procedure to create new Pen Number or retrieve the old one.
Personal Education Number or “PEN” is an initiative of the National Informatic Centre(NIC), Govt. of India, to create a unique identification number across all Education platforms. PEN would be issued to 5 key personas (Learners, Parents, Teachers, Administrators and Community Members) interacting through 3 generalized scenarios: Learn, Help Learn and Manage Learn as defined in National Digital Enterprise Architecture (NDEAR). PEN would contain a minimum set of essential parameters (like name, date of birth, gender, email, phone etc.) validating the association of personas to the education sector to uniquely identify an academician or an entity. It would act as a permanent reference number in the entire personal lifecycle at different learning stages including pre-primary, primary, secondary, senior secondary, graduate, post-graduate, upskilling etc. All educational institutes must register for PEN online and generate PEN which is required from admission/re-admission to transfer of educational institutes from one to another for verification of the database of educational institutes. A lame excuse behind the failure to register for PEN shall not automatically waive the responsibility of an educational institute. In the given situation, Complaints can be lodged against the School to NCTE by addressing the letter directly to the Nodal Officer (Complaints), NCTE and giving the specific facts behind the complaint. The complaints can also be lodged directly by sending an email: grievance[at]ncte[dash]india[dot]org. You can also write to the Chairperson of “The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR)” on mail id, [email protected] as well informing the school email ID to make them aware of their deficiency.
It seems there’s a confusion regarding whether you meant Permanent Account Number (PAN) or Permanent Enrollment Number (PEN).
If you're referring to the PAN, it’s used for tax purposes in India, and you can apply for a new one through the Income Tax Department’s website if you don't have it.
If you meant PEN, which is often associated with school enrollment, you would need to follow up with your previous school or local education authorities to obtain it. If they are unable to provide it, escalate the issue as needed.
