GUWHATI, March 21: In a bid to bolster accountability and streamline attendance management in the state’s educational institutions, the Department of School Education, Government of Assam, has issued a groundbreaking directive mandating the use of the Shiksha Setu app for tracking daily attendance of both teachers and students.
Effective from April 1, 2024, this initiative marks a significant step towards modernizing educational governance in Assam.
Dr. Om Prakash (IAS), Mission Director of Samagra Shiksha in Assam, communicated this pivotal decision through an official notification addressed to key stakeholders, including Additional District Commissioners (Education), Inspectors of Schools, District Elementary Education Officers, and District Mission Coordinators across all districts.
In the communication, Dr. Om Prakash underscored the importance of a seamless transition to the new attendance tracking system. Stakeholders were urged to acquaint themselves with the functionalities of the Shiksha Setu app and promptly report any technical challenges encountered in capturing daily attendance by March 23, 2024.
Notably, this proactive approach aims to preemptively address potential hurdles and facilitate the smooth implementation of the mandated process.
The adoption of the Shiksha Setu app reflects the government’s unwavering commitment to leveraging technology to enhance educational governance and foster transparency in monitoring attendance. By harnessing the capabilities of this innovative application, authorities aspire to optimize resource allocation, instill punctuality, and ultimately, elevate the standard of education delivery across the state.
This landmark initiative is poised to redefine the educational landscape of Assam, heralding a new era of efficiency, accountability, and excellence in the realm of school administration and management.
