New Delhi: On Thursday, Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi inaugurated three digital platforms developed by the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan. The event took place in the capital and signals a practical move to bring more technology into the daily running of KVS schools.

The platforms are the 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. KVS developed all three through its own IT Services Cell at headquarters. They line up with the aims of the National Education Policy 2020 and the Digital India programme.

The Vidya Samiksha Kendra sits at samiksha.kvs.gov.in. It shows real-time dashboards for student and staff attendance, academic results, school infrastructure and admissions. The Samiksha AI Bot looks at the numbers, spots gaps and puts forward suggestions. School administrators should find it easier to act quickly when something needs attention.

Parents will notice the difference through the KVS-Samvaad Parent Connect App and Web Portal at samvaad.kvs.gov.in. They can view attendance, follow syllabus progress, check results and pick up learning resources. Digital student identity cards are available too. Parents can also apply online for bonafide certificates, Children Education Allowance certificates and student leave. This should mean fewer trips to the school office and less paper work.

The KVS Alumni Connect Portal at alumni.kvs.gov.in lets former students reconnect with their old schools and classmates. They can share what they have done since leaving and take part in mentorship or career guidance. The portal also gives them a route to support school activities.

Joshi congratulated the KVS team at the launch. He asked for the platforms to be used widely across all Kendriya Vidyalayas, classes and locations. He also mentioned the chance to take similar ideas beyond KVS with help from the Department of School Education and Literacy.

Teachers and principals get clearer, up-to-date information that can guide everyday decisions. Students are better served when attendance problems or learning gaps are identified early. Parents receive straightforward updates without having to chase the school. Alumni gain a simple way to stay in touch and give back.

These platforms put useful digital tools into the hands of one of India’s largest school systems. How well they work will depend on regular use by schools and ongoing improvements based on feedback from teachers, parents and students.
