Prime Minister Narendrabhai Modi had visited Vidya Samiksha Kendra in State capital Gandhinagar in August last year and spent a lot of time understanding the services it offered. The Kendra collects over 500 crore data sets annually and analyzes them meaningfully using big data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, in order to enhance overall learning outcomes for students. The Kendra helps track daily online attendance of teachers and students, undertake centralized summative and periodic assessments of learning outcomes of students, etc. Vidya Samiksha Kendra has been deemed a global best practice by the World Bank, which has also invited other countries to visit and learn about it.
