Thiruvananthapuram, The KITE is rolling out the ‘Tharapadham’ project across government schools in Keralam as part of a major digital upgrade in the public education sector.
Instead of logging in separately to multiple school portals such as Sampoorna, Sampoorna Plus, Sahitham, Samagra and Samanwaya, users can now access them through a single sign-on-integrated dashboard. Facilities to record classroom observation notes, inspection reports by education officers and School Resource Group decisions, along with monitoring capabilities extending to the state level, have also been incorporated into Samagra Plus. Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education, the technical arm of the General Education department, is implementing the initiative as part of the state government’s 100-day action plan to improve the quality of public education. The portal allows schools to record student attendance, examination scores and co-curricular assessments for Classes 1 to 12. In addition, Samagra Plus allows teachers of Classes 1 to 10 to prepare teaching manuals in line with their scheme of work and enables headteachers to review and approve them. Heads of institutions must strictly ensure compliance with the ‘Cyber Safety Protocol 2026’, including the formation of school-level cyber safety committees.
The initiative aims to modernise the digital systems currently used by the General Education department through artificial intelligence and bring them under a unified platform, according to a statement.
