Chhattisgarh Infotech Promotion Society (CHiPS), the nodal agency of Department of Electronics & Information Technology of Chhattisgarh Government is going for development of ‘Shaala Kosh’ software application for Department of School Education in the State, officials informed.
The objective of the project is to enable real-time continuous monitoring of more than 48000 Government schools of the Chhattisgarh State and self-reporting of various aspects related to school education to improve the quality of education in Government schools in the State.
Bio–metric devices will be used to monitor teacher’s and student’s daily attendance and ensuring their presence in school which in turn can reduce leakages in delivery of schemes like mid day meals, student’s scholarships etc.
Thus, a Web and android based software for taking biometric attendance and monitoring system is required to be developed. The entire software need to be developed in a user friendly manner which will reduce hassles for everyone right from the students, teachers to the Block, District and State level administration.
CHiPS last year also planned to establish a ‘State Residents Data Hub’ (SRDH) which will be an authentic repository of all the residents of Chhattisgarh, officials informed.
The SRDH will procure UID KYR (Know Your Resident) and Photograph data from the Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR).
CHiPS would also source Departmental databases including domain identifiers for integrating with SRDH. The SRDH would act as framework for enabling efficient service delivery, better planning and shall also be helpful for monitoring of schemes by Government of Chhattisgarh, they informed.
The SRDH shall also support in informed decision making based upon the insight derived from the Business Intelligence (BI) and analytics tools proposed to be implemented as part of SRDH.
The SRDH application framework shall also be used for seeding UID number in the departmental database by performing the demographic matching on the UID KYR data and demographic data of the beneficiaries provided by the Department.
CHiPS envisages that with the implementation of SRDH, the departments would not only benefit from easier implementation of the schemes but would also enable them to enhance their monitoring capabilities, ensure targetted benefit disbursal, provide efficient service delivery to the citizens, weed out duplicates, reduce leakages and enhance inclusion of citizen in various welfare schemes.
SRDH frameworks will provide unique centralised repository containing resident’s demographic information with UID Number and scheme identifiers. The repository will facilitate departments to deliver welfare schemes in a much more efficient and effective manner, officials informed.
