Guwahati, Sept 4: The Assam government’s ‘Shiksha Setu Axom’ mobile application was awarded in the gold category for excellence in e-governance by the Centre’s Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances.
Assam Samagra Siksha Mission Director Om Prakash and Executive Director Sanjoy Dutta received the award at the National Conference on e-Governance 2024 in Mumbai on Tuesday.
The conference was organised by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievance, an official release said on Wednesday.
The app’s use of technology to enhance real-time monitoring and attendance management is setting a new standard for educational governance, the release said.
The department gave away nine gold, six silver and one jury awards in the e-Governance sector.
The ‘Shiksha Setu Axom’ app, with 4.9 million users, captures real-time, geo-fenced attendance of teachers, students and non-teaching staff.
This AI-based attendance eliminates proxy attendance and ghost students, ensures timely teacher attendance, monitors prolonged student absence, predicts potential dropouts and re-engages students, according to the release. (PTI)
