Students' parents, teachers and alumni of Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) now have three new online platforms, launched in New Delhi by Education Minister Pralhad Joshi.
The platforms are an AI-integrated Vidya Samiksha Kendra with a "Samiksha" AI Bot, the KVS-Samvaad Parent Connect app and web portal, and the KVS Alumni Connect Portal. The IT Services Cell of KVS headquarters built all three in-house.
What each platform does
Vidya Samiksha Kendra (samiksha.kvs.gov.in) shows real-time dashboards on student and staff attendance, academic performance, school infrastructure and admissions. The AI bot analyses the data, identifies gaps and suggests actions.
KVS-Samvaad (samvaad.kvs.gov.in) gives parents real-time attendance, syllabus progress, results, learning resources and digital student ID cards. Parents can apply online for Bonafide and CEA certificates and for student leave, and see student and teacher diaries. The release says this will cut paperwork and unnecessary school visits.
KVS Alumni Portal (alumni.kvs.gov.in) lets former students reconnect with schools and batchmates and offer mentorship and career guidance.
What the minister asked for
Joshi asked for the initiative to be scaled up across every Kendriya Vidyalaya, covering all classes. He also suggested extending it beyond KVS to the wider school system with the Department of School Education and Literacy, and adding teacher-training data, such as training status, intervals and upcoming needs, so that training can be monitored.
KVS Commissioner Vikas Gupta and Department of School Education Secretary T. K. Anil Kumar were present.
