SSA's e-governance pilot project launched in Coimbatore

COIMBATORE, INDIA: Those days are gone when Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) in Coimbatore used to get data from its field officers through papers.

Now, the e-governance pilot trials of SSA have been launched by Collector M. Karunagaran.

The decision to introduce pilot trials was taken to cut down on the time consuming process, errors that come with duplication of work, increased time to retrieve data through registers and block files.

"This project completely does away with the need for paper work in monitoring the implementation of various SSA projects," a Hindu report quoted Coimbatore Additional Chief Education Officer (SSA) R. Thiruvalarselvi as saying.

To overcome the issue of dealing with a lot of paper work, Coimbatore based ByVal Technologies had developed an online application for Block Resource Teacher Educators (BRTEs), Cluster Resource Teacher Educators (CRTEs) and senior officials of the SSA.

The application automatically consolidates the data entered by all field level personnel in the website from their respective blocks. The data entered cannot be edited by any other person and it can be viewed by select officials only.
