Education Minister Launches Three KVS Digital Platforms

Why in News

On 12 November 2026 Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi launched three digital platforms of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan in New Delhi, including the AI-integrated Vidya Samiksha Kendra.

Union Minister for Education Pralhad Joshi opened three flagship digital platforms of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) in New Delhi on 12 November 2026. The three are the AI-integrated Vidya Samiksha Kendra with its 'Samiksha' AI Bot, the KVS-Samvaad parent connect app and web portal, and the KVS Alumni Connect Portal. The minister placed them within the goals of the National Education Policy 2020 and the Digital India push.

The three platforms

Vidya Samiksha Kendrasamiksha.kvs.gov.inLive dashboards on attendance of students and staff, academic performance, school infrastructure and admissions; the 'Samiksha' AI Bot reads the data, points to gaps and proposes steps
KVS-Samvaadsamvaad.kvs.gov.inAttendance, syllabus progress, results, learning material and digital student ID cards for parents, plus online applications for Bonafide and CEA certificates and student leave
KVS Alumni Portalalumni.kvs.gov.inA space for former students to find their schools and batchmates and to offer mentorship and career guidance

What the minister asked for

  • Take the platforms to every Kendriya Vidyalaya, covering all classes and locations
  • Carry the model beyond KVS to the wider school education system, with the Department of School Education and Literacy
  • Add full teacher training records to the portal, including training status, intervals, past training and the training still due
  • Review outcomes regularly and mend what falls short

Who was present

Secretary of the Department of School Education and Literacy T. K. Anil Kumar, Joint Secretary Prachi Pandey and KVS Commissioner Vikas Gupta attended the launch along with senior officials of the Ministry of Education.

Built in-house

The IT Services Cell at KVS headquarters developed all three platforms itself, with the aim of putting routine information and services one click away. For parents that means fewer trips to the school and less paperwork, since certificates and leave can be applied for online; for administrators it means a single view of how schools are performing. The step marks a shift in KVS towards administration that runs on data and keeps parents in the loop.
