NEW DELHI: Now parents would get online information on the performance of their children, including their attendance, from Class I to Class XII.
Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani launched ‘KV Shaala Darpan’, a Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) initiative to provide attendance status, performance, health challenges and entire academic record of every student on a unified platform, here on Friday.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has dedicated his dream project ‘Digital India’ to the nation. This is an initiative towards realising that dream.
“The government has completed one year and this programme launched by the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan in its first year will define e-governance, good governance and ‘Digital India’ and create history,” she said.
”It is heartening that government schools (KVs) are taking this initiative, which is historic. There is a presumption that government schools are not good enough and government’s endeavour is to bring them at par with private schools so that citizens would send their children to government schools feeling that it is not a compromising situation, but an informed and very correct decision,” Irani said.
Under the programme, students would get e-tutorials and learning aids to enrich their knowledge.
She appealed to the parents not to put unnecessary pressure on children while making use of the ‘KV Shaala Darpan’.
