Shala Darpan is the fastest-growing portal in the education sector launched by the government of India to provide transparency and efficiency in the education sector. The main motive of this portal is to promote education and link it with the digital medium. Smt. Smriti Irani inaugurated the Shala Darpan portal in 2015.
Each state can have its own Shala Darpan portal, but the main aim of all the portals will be the same, i.e. providing transparency in the education sector of India. Currently, the Rajasthan government has launched the Shaala Darpan portal, which covers all schools in Rajasthan. Similarly, the Kendriya Vidyalaya has also launched the KV Shaala Darpan for all Kendriya Vidyalayas in the country.
Shala Darpan provides a digital platform for parents, teachers and students to take the next step in education. The teachers can manage students’ profiles and create academic results on this portal. The student can log in to the Shala Darpan portal and learn in a rich environment with informational videos. The parents are the crucial part of this portal as it provides access to them to keep an eye on their children’s academic performances without stepping inside the school premises.
The school teachers, parents and students in Rajasthan can access the portal on the Shaala Darpan Rajasthan portal by logging in to the portal. They can log in using the respective school user ID and password.
The school teachers, parents and students of the Kendriya Vidyalayas can log in to the KV Shaala Darpan portal by using the school User ID and password. The KV Shaala Darpan is an online platform to apply for the online admission of children to Kendriya Vidyalayas.
The Shala Darpan is a government portal through which the teachers can upload marks of the students and create academic results. Before 2015, the results were difficult to handle as they were maintained in files. The maintenance of the results of class 1 to 12 is hectic work. The results are even more difficult to handle when there are three to four sections per class. The Shaala Darpan provides for uploading of the results online that helps the teachers to maintain proper academic records. The portal also makes it easy to fetch online records as it is just a few clicks away.
All parents cannot devote time to their children due to their work profile and busy job schedule. The Shala Darpan portal is an easy to use portal for parents to track and see their children’s performances, assignments, grades and other activities. Through this government authorised portal, the parents can do what they always wanted to do for their children.
The students are the soul of the schools irrespective of whether he/she is from a private school or a government school. The Shala Darpan Programme is designed especially for the students to sharpen their knowledge with different videos available on the portal. The portal contains lots of educational videos for all classes, i.e. Class 1 to 12.
The government approach of adding print rich material to the portal is helpful for the students, and makes them curious, and helps to strengthen their interest in the Shala Darpan Programme.
