New Delhi: In a step towards realising the objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi inaugurated three flagship digital initiatives of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS).The initiatives include an AI-integrated Vidya Samiksha Kendra (VSK) with the ‘Samiksha’ AI Bot, KVS-Samvaad Parent Connect App and Web Portal, and the KVS Alumni Connect Portal, said an official statement.Developed in-house by the IT Services Cell of KVS Headquarters, the platforms aim to make essential information and services accessible at one click, saving valuable time and effort for parents, students, teachers and administrators, said the statement.Joshi suggested that the initiative be extended beyond KVS to benefit students across the entire school education ecosystem, in collaboration with the Department of School Education and Literacy (DoSEL).Highlighting the importance of capacity-building of teachers, he suggested incorporating comprehensive teacher training data into the portal.The AI-integrated Vidya Samiksha Kendra provides real-time dashboards on student and staff attendance, academic performance, school infrastructure and admissions. Its ‘Samiksha’ AI Bot analyses data, identifies gaps and suggests interventions, enabling informed and timely decision-making, the statement said.The KVS Samvaad Parent Connect App and Web Portal brings schools closer to parents by providing real-time attendance, progress of syllabus, academic results, learning resources and digital student ID cards, it said.Parents can also apply online for Bonafide and CEA certificates and student leave, besides accessing student and teacher diaries. This will reduce paperwork and unnecessary school visits while strengthening parent-teacher communication, it said.The KVS Alumni Portal provides a dedicated platform for former students to reconnect with their schools and batchmates, share achievements and experiences, and contribute towards mentorship, career guidance and institutional development.
