In a significant move to elevate educational standards in Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi Adityanath-led government has embarked on an ambitious project to rejuvenate aided schools across the state. This initiative, part of a comprehensive action plan devised by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, aims to modernise over 400 aided schools by integrating a sophisticated online platform.
The cornerstone of this modernisation effort is developing a mobile application that will connect these schools and incorporate crucial data such as student and staff details. The app, which will include features like geo-tagging and a teaching staff module, is being developed by the Uttar Pradesh Electronics Corporation Limited (UPLC) under the direction of the Social Welfare Department. The UPLC has already begun selecting and allocating work to empanelled companies through an e-tender process.
The app development will follow a meticulously planned process. Initially, the selected service provider agency will conduct a detailed project study, which will be informed by feedback from department officials. This will involve gathering and compiling essential data from the aided schools, including information on students, staff, and infrastructure. The data will be adjusted according to the System Requirements Specification (SRS) to create a detailed project report to guide the app’s development.
The app will include several modules, including the registration and Management Information System (MIS). The registration module will cater to students, staff, and school infrastructure, ensuring easy accessibility and efficient data management. This platform will enable the tracking and managing of information for over 60,000 students, providing details like date of birth, gender, contact information, family background, Aadhaar validation, and academic records. Similar comprehensive data will be recorded for the staff and teachers.
The app will feature advanced security measures, including secure login and access controls for over 400 aided schools, directorate (admin) logins, ID and password management, user role definitions, and permission access. It will also include analytics and scalability capabilities, ensuring robust performance and usability. The implementing agency will provide hosting services with 16 GB RAM and one terabyte of storage, ensuring the app is optimised for search engines.
Furthermore, the project includes annual maintenance and a three-day official staff training session based on recommendations from the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT).
This initiative by the Uttar Pradesh government marks a significant step towards modernising the state’s educational infrastructure, leveraging technology to enhance the management and quality of education in aided schools.
