Union Minister for Education Shri Pralhad Joshi inaugurated three flagship digital initiatives of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) in New Delhi on November 12, 2026. The initiatives include the AI-integrated Vidya Samiksha Kendra (VSK) with the 'Samiksha' AI Bot, KVS-Samvaad Parent Connect App and Web Portal, and the KVS Alumni Connect Portal. These platforms were developed in-house by the IT Services Cell of KVS Headquarters.
The AI-integrated Vidya Samiksha Kendra (accessible at samiksha.kvs.gov.in) provides real-time dashboards on student and staff attendance, academic performance, school infrastructure, and admissions. Its 'Samiksha' AI Bot analyzes data, identifies gaps, and suggests interventions to enable informed and timely decision-making.
The KVS-Samvaad Parent Connect App and Web Portal (samvaad.kvs.gov.in) provides parents with real-time attendance tracking, syllabus progress monitoring, academic results, learning resources, and digital student ID cards. Parents can apply online for Bonafide and CEA certificates and student leave, while also accessing student and teacher diaries, reducing paperwork and unnecessary school visits.
The KVS Alumni Portal (alumni.kvs.gov.in) provides a dedicated platform for former students to reconnect with their schools and batchmates, share achievements and experiences, and contribute toward mentorship, career guidance, and institutional development.
Minister Joshi described the initiatives as a significant step toward realizing the objectives of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and advancing the Digital India vision. He called for scaling up the initiatives across every Kendriya Vidyalaya, covering all classes and locations, and suggested expanding them beyond KVS to benefit students across the entire school education ecosystem in collaboration with the Department of School Education and Literacy (DoSEL). He emphasized the importance of incorporating comprehensive teacher training data into the portal, including training status, intervals, previous records, and upcoming requirements to facilitate better monitoring and ensure timely training.
