UP Council Schools to Get Class 3 Hindi And Maths Guides through New QR-Based App

In a significant move towards enhancing education in Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi government has initiated a technological exercise to deliver teacher guides for Class 3 Hindi and Maths in council schools. This will help around 148 lakh students and more than 5,75,000 teachers and Shikshamitras employed in the state's 1,32,000 council schools, including primary, upper primary, and Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya residential schools.

The guides are being released through the newly introduced 'Kitab Vitran App' (Book Distribution App), which tracks and ensures timely delivery of textbooks, workbooks, teacher guides, and other learning materials using QR codes.

District and Block Education Officers, SRGs, ARPs, DIET mentors, headteachers, and teachers scan the QR codes when they receive them, allowing for real-time monitoring by the state project office.

 

Kitab Vitran App is designed to bring accountability, transparency, and efficiency to the education system. The app enables direct monitoring of the process of distribution by state authorities to ensure that teacher guides reach schools on time and eliminate delays or discrepancies.

With more than 6,00,000 educators now trained with revised guides and instructions, the quality of teaching will improve a lot. The students of Class 3 will especially gain in Hindi and Maths, as instruction will become more systematic and effective.

Responsibilities have been well-defined at all levels, ranging from BSA and BEO to headteachers and teachers. Physical checks of material will be carried out by SRGs, ARPs, and DIET mentors, and compulsory reporting provides accountability at all levels.

It is an unprecedented era of education reform in Uttar Pradesh, according to Basic Education Minister Sandeep Singh. "Our aim is to give good education to all the children and make UP a model state in the area of education," he added.

Schools Director General of School Education, Kanchan Verma, further said that the step would assist the government in effectively utilizing resources, enhancing teaching quality, and facilitating real-time decision-making in the education department.
