In order to monitor the performance of all school students directly and keep a check on implementation of various schemes run for them, Maharashtra Government is planning to prepare their database under e-Governance policy. Minister of State for School Education, Fauzia Khan told media persons in Mumbai that, it is a child tracking system which would have educational records of every student in the state and will be implemented in all the schools including government run, private and schools of other state boards.Khan also informed that the database would give an actual picture of the students studying in any school or organisation and quality of education provided. This would also help tracing drop out students which is one of the major concerns. Khan further added that with the help of this system, the Government can check if various schemes for students like scholarships, free ships, and mid-day meals are implemented by the schools properly. This would make the work more transparent. She also said that as a part of e-Governance, the Education department has made compulsory online grading of students for all the secondary schools. The initiative has received good response from the schools and the scheme would be expanded soon.
