Karnal Smart City Limited (KSCL), a special purpose vehicle which is looking after the Smart City project, is going to start the smart education project in nine government schools in the city.

Under it, parents can monitor the performance of their wards on the click of a button. This step is being taken by the KSCL to increase the learning capacity of students and also to make learning interactive and student friendly under the Smart City project.

The technical and financial bids of the project have already been opened. The authorities are claiming the project would begin in few days.

“We have identified nine government schools of the city under the area-based development plan. We will allot the work by the end of this week to the company as the technical and financial bids have been opened,” said Rajiv Mehta, Commissioner KMC-cum-CEO KSCL.

A sum of Rs 3.6 crore would incur on this project under which they would develop 53 smart classrooms and eight robotic and stem labs in these schools so that the students could learn their subjects with the help of latest technology, the CEO added.

“We will also make a database of all the students which will be based on their day-to-day performance and activities. The parents can easily monitor the performances of their wards with the help of dashboard system,” he added.

The attendance of students, their participation in different activities along with their results in various competitions would also be available on this dashboard, he said.

Renu Bala Gupta, Mayor, said that besides raising their confidence, the project would help in enhancing their learning skills. Under this project, the students would be taught with the help of audio-visual content, making learning easy, she added.
