Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala government has introduced a new mobile application, Sampoorna Plus, enabling parents to monitor their children’s academic performance, attendance, and extracurricular activities in real time. The app, developed by the state-run Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE), is designed to support over 36.44 lakh students across 12,943 schools.
App Details and Functionality
Sampoorna Plus was launched by Kerala’s General Education Minister, V Sivankutty, and is an extension of the existing Sampoorna online management software already mandated for use in all schools by the state government.
The app provides parents with access to their child’s attendance records, term exam results, mark lists, and communication updates from school authorities. A built-in communication feature allows seamless interaction between parents and teachers.
The app is free to download from the Google Play Store, and parents need to ensure their contact information is updated with the school to access the features.
Key Features and Security
K Anvar Sadath, CEO of KITE, stated that term exam results for Classes 1 to 9 from December 2024 are already available on the platform. The app also incorporates cybersecurity measures to safeguard user data.
Government Push for Digital Oversight
The initiative reflects the state’s broader efforts to digitize education administration and enhance parent-teacher engagement. The Kerala General Education Department has instructed schools to implement Sampoorna Plus alongside the existing Sampoorna system to ensure better tracking of students’ academic and extracurricular performance.
By consolidating academic data on a single platform, the app aims to improve transparency and foster a collaborative approach to education among parents, teachers, and schools.
