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.

Tripura Government to Implement E-Attendance System in Government Schools

Leave a Comment / By / Education Community

In an effort to enhance the quality of education and monitor the performance of teachers and students, the Tripura government has announced plans to introduce an e-attendance system in all 4,912 government schools. The move, to be implemented under the Vidya Samiksha Kendra initiative, aims to bring transparency to the academic system and improve the overall functioning of schools. The digital attendance system will cover both teachers and students, with the entire process expected to be completed within a two-year timeframe. Initially launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Gujarat in 2022, the Vidya Samiksha Kendra initiative is designed to enhance educational outcomes by leveraging technology and providing real-time monitoring of educational initiatives. Following the implementation of the e-attendance system, a geo-tagging feature will also be introduced to facilitate online access to essential school-related information. Once the e-attendance system is fully operational, monitoring of teacher and school performance will be conducted by the Chief Minister, relevant ministers, and senior officials. Training sessions for headmasters and other stakeholders are already underway to familiarize them with the new digital system. Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, who oversees the Education Department, recently inaugurated the state’s first Vidya Samiksha Kendra in Agartala. This center aims to digitize educational data, provide real-time visibility into educational initiatives, and support decision-making through data analysis and AI. With over 37,000 teachers and nearly 700,000 students enrolled across various levels of school education, the introduction of the e-attendance system is expected to significantly improve accountability and transparency in Tripura’s education sector.
