State governance

Set policy once. See it applied in every school.

The directorate sets the rules every school works within, from the academic year to attendance limits, and sees the whole state from one dashboard.

01

Settings every school inherits

Academic year. The directorate creates the academic year, marks which one is current and archives past years. Only one year can be current at a time, so every dashboard and report in the state uses the same year, and nobody reads last year's figures by mistake.

Late check-in allowance. The state sets the longest grace period a school can give for a late check-in. A school can set a stricter limit, but never a more lenient one.

GPS allowance. One extra radius is added to every school's campus boundary across the state. It absorbs normal GPS inaccuracy, so a teacher standing at their own school gate is never turned away.

Correction allowance. The state sets how many attendance corrections each school may make per month. Every change to this setting is kept in an audit history.

State holidays. Holidays the state declares appear in every school's calendar automatically. No school's attendance figure is pulled down by a day nobody was supposed to work.

Leave types. The state defines its leave types, along with how leave builds up, whether it carries forward to the next year, whether unused leave can be paid out, and which staff each type applies to.

Every school that joins the platform later inherits these settings automatically. No circular needs to go out, and nobody has to chase compliance.

Bring schools onto the platform at scale

  • Bulk onboarding from a spreadsheet. Upload a list of schools and get a result for every row. A single bad row never causes the whole file to be rejected.
  • Rollout tracking. Invited schools are listed separately from schools that have started, so follow-up goes to the schools that need it.
  • Schools fill in their own profiles. A guided form captures each school's identity, location, contact details and leadership. Location fields follow the national directories of land records and local government bodies.
  • Changes are reviewed. When a school asks to change its official record, the request comes to the directorate before it takes effect.
  • Access can be reissued. When a principal is transferred or a contact number stops working, the directorate reissues the school's access.
03

Oversight across the state

  • The state dashboard shows schools onboarded, active staff and admissions, alongside the current academic year and when the figures were last refreshed.
  • Statewide attendance is shown by month, with schools ranked by attendance so the ones that need support are easy to find.
  • A readiness list shows the schools that have not yet set their campus boundary. It shrinks on its own as schools complete it.
  • Drill down from the state to a school, and then to any member of staff, in three taps.
  • The directorate can correct attendance without using a school's allowance. Its name and the reason are recorded on every such correction.
04

Decide who sees what

  • An officer's jurisdiction can be any combination of districts, educational blocks, cluster resource centres and individual schools, so it matches how your state is actually run.
  • Capabilities are granted one at a time. Anything an officer has not been given does not appear at all, so their app stays clean and focused.
05

Run admissions across the state

  • Open and close admission windows by academic year, school type, board and district.
  • Stop new applications across the state with one switch, or send a message to every school at once.
  • Publish admission guidelines that applicants can read before they sign in.
06

Official guidance and messaging

  • A guidelines library of videos and documents, each sent only to the audience it is meant for: school admins, officers, employees or students.
  • Messages addressed to an office, not a person. Mail sent to a role still reaches whoever holds it after a transfer.
07

National reporting, on a schedule

Attendance, enrolment and school data are sent to the national Vidya Samiksha Kendra automatically. Read more about Integrations.
