Assam’s State Government started online attendance in “Siksha Setu Axom 2023” which is a ground-breaking initiative aimed at digitally tracking student attendance. The Education Minister of Assam, Ranoj Pegu earlier on the 24th of April formally launched a new portal, named ‘Siksha Setu Axom’ at an event in Kahilipara, Guwahati. This new website will be supervised by the Department of School Education, Assam.
There is a website by the Central Government, that uses the Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+) to build a national database of schools. The Siksha Setu Axom portal will work in a similar manner, and with time it will be a hub of all information about the education system in the state. As India is pitching for Digital India, Siksha Setu Axom 2023 sets a milestone that will promote transparency regarding the students’ and teachers’ activities.
