These are the AI-enabled Vidya Samiksha Kendra, the KVS-Samvaad Parent Connect app and web portal, and the KVS Alumni Connect portal, meant for KVS students, parents, teachers and former students. ## What this means for you If your child studies in a Kendriya Vidyalaya, you will be able to check attendance, syllabus progress, results and the digital student ID card through the app. You can also apply online for bonafide certificates, CEA certificates and student leave, which should mean fewer trips to school. KVS alumni can join the alumni portal to reconnect with their school and contribute through mentorship and career guidance. ## Key facts - Three digital initiatives launched on 12 November 2026 - Vidya Samiksha Kendra: samiksha.kvs.gov.in - Parent Connect app and portal: samvaad.kvs.gov.in - Alumni portal: alumni.kvs.gov.in - All three platforms developed in-house by KVS headquarters' IT service wing ## What happened Union Education Minister Prahlad Joshi on 12 November 2026 launched three digital initiatives of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) in New Delhi. These are the AI-enabled Vidya Samiksha Kendra (with a 'Samiksha' AI bot), the KVS-Samvaad Parent Connect app and web portal, and the KVS Alumni Connect portal. The ministry described them as a step towards technology-enabled, transparent and smooth administration in KVS. The initiatives are linked to the goals of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the Digital India vision. ## What each portal does The Vidya Samiksha Kendra (samiksha.kvs.gov.in) gives real-time dashboards on student and staff attendance, academic performance, school infrastructure and admissions. Its 'Samiksha' AI bot analyses the available data, identifies gaps and suggests corrective steps, which helps in taking timely decisions. The KVS-Samvaad Parent Connect app and web portal (samvaad.kvs.gov.in) lets parents connect directly with the school. It offers features such as a student's attendance, syllabus progress, academic results, teaching resources and digital student ID card. Parents can also view the student and teacher diary and apply online for bonafide certificates, CEA certificates and student leave. The KVS Alumni portal (alumni.kvs.gov.in) is for former students. They can reconnect with their schools and old classmates, share their achievements and experiences, and contribute to mentorship, career guidance and institutional development. ## Who benefits The most direct benefit is for KVS parents, since several tasks can now be done online and unnecessary trips to school should reduce. Students get a digital ID card and online services. Teachers and administrators get information in one place through the dashboard. Joshi called for extending these initiatives to every Kendriya Vidyalaya. He suggested that, with the help of the Department of School Education and Literacy (DoSEL), they be taken beyond KVS to the entire school education system so that more students benefit. He also suggested adding detailed teacher-training data to the portal, such as training status, gaps, past training records and future training needs. ## What you need to do The notice does not give parents or students any application date or mandatory step. Parents whose children study in a Kendriya Vidyalaya can ask their school when these apps and portals will be available for them. All three platforms were developed in-house by the IT service wing of KVS headquarters. More information is available on the KVS website, kvs.gov.in. ## Questions and answers **What can parents see on the KVS-Samvaad Parent Connect app?** Parents can see a student's attendance, syllabus progress, academic results, teaching resources and digital student ID card.
