Hyderabad: From enrollment, attendance to academic performance, the entire information pertaining to all schools including the private ones besides monitoring of government-run institutions will just be a click away with the new state-of-the-art Command Control Centre being launched by the School Education Department by the end of this month.
Named ‘Vidya Samiksha Kendra’, the centre will be used for tracking the enrollment of students and their learning levels, achievement of both individual students and school-wise, across the State.
The new centre, which is on the lines of the Telangana State Police Command Control Centre and Health Department’s Command Control Centre, is coming up on the second floor of the Directorate of School Education at an estimated cost of Rs 5 crore. Equipped with a huge 20 feet high screen along with high-end computer systems, the centre will make information receiving and monitoring hassle-free.
For this, various applications including child information, learning outcomes and mid-day meal consumption are being integrated into the centre. Leveraging the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies, the centralised dashboard is being created for monitoring the schools. It will come handy for officials for monitoring and tracking schemes including mid-day meals, free textbooks, notebooks and uniform distribution to students.
Presently, the officials are banking on the Unified District Information System for Education or UDISE database for the information. Moreover, gathering information for UDISE is a cumbersome and time-consuming process. With entire information pertaining to all schools available at a click of a button, the centre will aid officials in taking data-driven decisions.
Further, the facial recognition attendance based application, to be launched this week for taking attendance in the schools, will also be integrated to the Kendra, enabling the officials to track individual attendance of both students and teachers in the real time.
Apart from extending support to the teachers in the government-run schools, this new centre will aid officials in monitoring their attendance in real-time besides their performance and necessary training, if required. The government-run institutions including the residential schools will be under video surveillance with integration of the CCTV cameras to the centre.

Hyderabad: Industries Minister and BRS working president KT Rama Rao said on Sunday that September 17 would be celebrated as National Integration Day in a grand manner across the State.
Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao would be participating in the celebrations at a programme in Hyderabad. In addition to this, the State government would be organizing different programmes in all district headquarters to be celebrate the Integration Day.
Ministers would hoist the national flag in districts on the day. Likewise, all party activists would organise the celebrations in a grand manner in their areas, he said.
“Unable to stomach the welfare and development in all sectors in Telangana, Opposition parties are trying to politicise every aspect. While the people are celebrating the Integration Day, a few political parties are conspiring politically motivated moves,” Rama Rao said.
Communal colour was being given to every aspect and conspiracies were being hatched to create disturbances in the society. People have to be cautious of such cheap political stunts, he said.
September 17, 1948 was a day when Telangana was merged with the Indian union and marked a transit from monarchy to democracy. The entire Telangana community still remembers the great occasion of the transformation from monarchy to democratic freedom, he said.
However, destructive forces were making moves to fulfill their selfish political interests by distorting the occasion of September 17, which was a symbol of national unity. Opportunists, who had no role in the history and circumstances prevailing in that era, were distorting and maligning the great history of Telangana for their political gains, he said.
“It is essential for a highly intellectual society like Telangana, which reacts actively, to exhibit the same dynamism and repel the insidious efforts of destructive forces, who are trying to pollute Telangana,” Rama Rao said.
