Assam’s ‘Shiksha Setu Axom’ App Wins Gold for Excellence in e-Governance

-By ArdorComm News Network

The Assam government’s ‘Shiksha Setu Axom’ mobile application has been awarded the prestigious gold category award for excellence in e-governance by the Centre’s Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances. The award was received by Assam Samagra Siksha Mission Director Om Prakash and Executive Director Sanjoy Dutta at the National Conference on e-Governance 2024, held in Mumbai on Tuesday.

The conference was organized by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievance, as stated in an official release on Wednesday. The ‘Shiksha Setu Axom’ app was recognized for its innovative use of technology to enhance real-time monitoring and attendance management, setting new benchmarks in educational governance.

With a user base of 4.9 million, the app captures real-time, geo-fenced attendance of teachers, students, and non-teaching staff. Its AI-based system eliminates proxy attendance and ghost students, ensures timely teacher attendance, monitors prolonged student absence, predicts potential dropouts, and helps re-engage students. The department presented a total of nine gold, six silver, and one jury awards in the e-governance sector.

By integrating AI-based solutions, the app provides an efficient and transparent platform that addresses critical issues like absenteeism, dropout rates, and the challenge of maintaining accurate attendance records. Its geo-fencing capabilities ensure that attendance data is captured only when users are physically present within designated school premises, thereby maintaining the integrity of the system. This forward-thinking approach not only supports the state’s mission to enhance educational governance but also serves as a model for other states looking to implement digital reforms in the education sector.
