e-Samarth: Gondwana & Nagpur Universities get 2nd and 3rd rank
Nagpur: Giving yet another moment of pride to Vidarbha, the Gondwana University (GU) and Nagpur University (NU) have emerged as two of the top three performers in implementation of e-Samarth portal in Maharashtra. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Gondwana University and Nagpur University have secured the second and third positions, respectively, while Mumbai University leads the state. e-Samarth is a central govt initiative which aims at introducing use of digital technology in all functionalities of the university system across the country. The system brings uniformity, seamless functioning, and reduces reliance on third-party operators in online works. The interface is currently free of cost for public institutions. GU vice-chancellor Prashant Bokare praised his team's efforts despite having limited resources. "Without trained staff or sufficient infrastructure, we managed to implement 39 of the 42 modules," he said. "The finance department saved Rs72 lakh in a year by discontinuing outsourcing and switching to e-Samarth. Similarly, the exam section saved Rs50-60 lakh by holding post-graduate exams through e-Samarth," he said. GU now plans to implement e-Samarth for undergraduate exams next. To enhance efficiency of educational institutions nationwide, the central govt had introduced the Samarth system in 2022. Following directives from the central and state govts, the NU began implementing the e-Samarth system in a phased manner from 2022. At NU, 36 modules have been implemented via its IT cell, covering exams, finance, administration, and academics.

Incidentally, Bokare was holding additional charge of NU when the university started implementing e-Samarth on a full-fledged scale. NU's implementation is overseen by acting VC Madhavi Khode Chaware (IAS), Pro-VC Subhash Kondawar, nodal officer Shweta Barhate, and coordinator Satish Shende, with the IT cell managing technical operations.

Shift to e-portal: School intake, student data to be centralised
Panaji: After adopting centralised admissions a few years ago through the e-Samarth portal for the first year of degree programmes, Goa govt is heading towards a similar shift in admission procedures to an online and centralised mode for Class XI. The platform will be implemented from 2025-26 for all academic and administrative activities for schools in Goa right from nursery to the higher secondary level. The state has decided to carry out the implementation of the SamarthX e-governance platform through the Goa State Higher Education Council (GSHEC). This is being done as part of a national-level project under the Union education ministry. In Goa, Mahadev Gawas of the directorate of higher education has been appointed the project director to oversee and coordinate the use of the online portal across the school education system. 'The SamarthX platform is an integrated digital solution for school education to simplify and digitise functions like admissions, academic workflows, and administrative operations,' Gawas said. 'As a preliminary step, the platform was launched on a pilot basis and the Class XI admission process was conducted in a hybrid mode for 31 higher secondary schools, combining online and offline mechanisms.' Gawas said the pilot use of SamarthX is a step towards shifting to a fully digital admission process in the near future. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Click Here - This Might Save You From Losing Money Expertinspector Click Here Undo 'To sensitise stakeholders and prepare them for the platform's full-scale rollout, the GSHEC organised a five-day training workshop from May 5 to 9, where school heads, in charges, and computer teachers from govt, aided, and private schools underwent 10 intensive sessions,' Gawas said. 'Nearly 1,600 teachers participated in the workshop on the online platform's features, modules, and implementation.' He said that over 1,400 schools have been onboarded onto the platform. 'To ensure the effective use of the platform's modules, the next phase will involve conducting taluka-level boot camps for teachers, focusing on hands-on training, and practical application of the digital tools,' Gawas said. 'It will prove to be highly beneficial not only for schools by providing comprehensive data on every student but also for educational departments across the country that may require access to student information at any level,' said Cecilia Fernandes, the additional district education inspector for Bardez. The Samarth portal will provide paperless operations, simplify admissions, and offer students easy access to academic services like results, certificates, and fee payments. The portal especially supports inter-state student transfers, said headmaster Mhalasakant Deshpande of Mhalasa Narayani High School, Verna.
