DIMAPUR — Marking a significant milestone in digital education journey, the Government of Nagaland on Friday launched Integrated Data Platform (IDP), a unified system for gathering, processing, and analysing data from varied sources.
Advisor for School Education and SCERT, Kekhrielhoulie Yhome, launched the system in Kohima in the presence of State Mission Director, Samagra Shiksha Nagaland L Jamithung Lotha; officials from Samagra Shiksha Nagaland; officials from School Education Department, representatives from ConveGenius, and other key stakeholders, reflecting the state’s collective commitment to strengthening governance through technology, said an update from Samagra Shiksha, Nagaland.
The IDP has been envisioned to consolidate the state’s diverse educational datasets into a single, unified platform. It currently hosts 11 dashboards covering major domains of school functioning, including attendance dashboard that ‘offers real-time insights from schools across the state, marking a major step toward improving daily monitoring and administrative responsiveness’.
Maintaining that the state’s educational data has been maintained in varying formats and stored across multiple portals till lately, thus creating gaps in visibility and making it difficult to take timely and informed decisions, the update said the launch of IDP has ‘addressed this long-standing challenge through a centralised framework that enables real-time monitoring, greater transparency, and more efficient planning across all levels of the education ecosystem’.

Addressing the gathering, Yhome acknowledged the efforts of ConveGenius for developing a solution tailored-made for the state’s education system. He said the platform will significantly enhance the functioning of the Vidya Samiksha Kendra (VSK), which serves as the state’s central nerve centre for data analysis and decision support.
With richer datasets and a more streamlined data flow, the VSK will now be better equipped to support the state and districts in identifying trends, diagnosing challenges, and responding quickly to emerging needs,’ he said.
‘Such data systems are not only essential for good governance but are also key to improving learning outcomes, strengthening accountability, and ensuring that every child in Nagaland benefits from equitable and high-quality education,’ he added.
The state government also launched SwiftChat, a new application that “will serve as a unified interface for students, teachers, school heads, field officials, and administrators, capturing data related to attendance, assessments, feedback, and other classroom or administrative activities”. This app is expected to flow of information between schools and the state.
The event also saw the introduction of Samagra Shiksha Civil App, which is a tool created to digitise the monitoring of civil works funded under the education sector. It will enable tracking of on-site progress digitally, thereby improving oversight, efficiency, and transparency in execution of infrastructure initiatives across the state.
These platforms, the update claimed, embody the state’s resolve to harness technology for better governance and laying the groundwork for a more connected, accountable and future-ready education system.
