New Delhi, Nov 12 (INB) Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi on Thursday launched three flagship digital initiatives of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS), aimed at improving school administration, strengthening parent-teacher communication and reconnecting alumni with their institutions. In an official statement, the Ministry of Education said, the initiatives include an AI-integrated Vidya Samiksha Kendra with the ‘Samiksha’ AI Bot, the KVS-Samvaad Parent Connect App and Web Portal, and the KVS Alumni Connect Portal. Describing the initiatives as a step towards implementing the objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the Digital India vision, Joshi called for expanding their reach to all Kendriya Vidyalayas, covering every class and location. He also suggested extending the platforms beyond KVS to benefit students across the wider school education ecosystem in collaboration with the Department of School Education and Literacy, it stated. The AI-enabled Vidya Samiksha Kendra will provide real-time dashboards on student and staff attendance, academic performance, infrastructure and admissions. Its AI Bot will analyse data, identify gaps and suggest interventions to support informed decision-making. The KVS-Samvaad platform will allow parents to access attendance records, syllabus progress, examination results, learning resources and digital student identity cards. It will also facilitate online applications for bonafide and Children Education Allowance (CEA) certificates and student leave, it added. The Alumni Connect Portal will enable former students to reconnect with their schools and batchmates and contribute through mentorship, career guidance and institutional development, it added. Joshi also stressed the need to integrate comprehensive teacher-training records into the digital platform to facilitate monitoring of training status, previous programmes and future requirements. The platforms have been developed in-house by the IT Services Cell of KVS Headquarters, it said.
