Sowparnika Education Solutions Launches Suraksha - Student attendance and Safety Platform

Sowparnika Education Solutions has realised the growing need to enhance child safety systems in schools while in transport and to automate the class attendance process.

Suraksha is a cloud-based platform combined with the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags for students and their authorised guardians. It uses visual identification of parents, guardians and children as an additional layer of authentication. Suraksha will track each child who is received in transport, their attendance in school, boarding back for return and safe handover to authorised parents and guardians. Elder children will have the facility for unsupervised drop. It will alert the parents about no show for boarding, unsupervised drop off, and other events through SMS and alternate notification mechanisms. Suraksha will considerably reduce the valuable time spent on attendance process during the school day and increase the accuracy. Suraksha will bring together schools, transport providers, parents and guardians onto a single self-service platform, thereby achieving access to timely information to all the parties.

The solution consists of a preparatory cloud based portal, smart application built on android platform, location tracking through GPS and real time communication through GPRS.

Suraksha is currently in pilot at The Samhita Academy, Bangalore. The roll out will be completed by December 31, 2014. Suraksha will officially be available as attendance and safety platform for all schools by January 2015.

Sowparnika Education Solutions is a venture from Innovations – the family office of Mr. S.D. Shibulal.

About The Samhita Academy:

The Samhita Academy (TSA) is built on an inclusive model of education that brings together students from underprivileged backgrounds and regular applicants. They are provided with the same kind of opportunities and extra-curricular activities that are available to the fee-paying students. As they grow up, they are also provided guidance to make appropriate choices based on their talents and aspirations, ensuring that they lead happy and fulfilling lives.

TSA is fuelled by a simple yet emboldening mission statement: To provide quality education for empowerment. TSA recognizes that children today are strapped to a society that forces them to grow up far too quickly. Its vision is to create a replicable model of education that fosters every child in its care. Set in a fun, empowering and value-based learning environment, TSA seeks to engage young minds and ensure they enjoy being at school. Mentors at TSA believe that each child is worthy of respect and attention.  Together, they work to unlock their potential, lead them to discover opportunities and strive for personal excellence within a collaborative culture that fosters teamwork.
