By implementing e-Samarth, the attendance of students will now be online. This initiative was launched by the Ministry of Education in 2019 under the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology NMEICT-II (now NMEICT-III) aimed at enabling universities and higher education institutions (HEIs) through a digital framework to plan, manage, deliver and monitor services for students, staff and other stakeholders.”

The VC said, “It is cloud-based software and has very little chance of error in it. Its implementation will bring transparency. Currently, it has been implemented for students’ attendance. Students will know about their attendance on their mobile phones. They have to enter their mobile phone number and e-mail ID in the software so that their personal details remain safe and errors are reduced.”

He said, “Gradually the software will be implemented on other modules as well. Its implementation speed up work. In future, the university will make available all details from admission of students online through e-Samarth so that they do not face any problem. Apart from this, time table of teachers will also be available online. Any employee can apply for leave online.”

He said, “e-Samarth is an e-governance platform that seamlessly integrates technology and education delivery. It is a digital framework for planning, management, delivery and monitoring of services for students, employees and others. At least 40 plus modules on this platform are capable of completing all tasks of universities.”
