Samwad

Teacher Parent Communication

Samwad is a highly configurable mobile application designed to send templatized SMSes to parents based on the information entered by the teachers regarding the childrens’ attendance, homework, assessment data or to inform the parents about an upcoming school holiday, assessment date announcement, parent teacher meeting dates and even to update them about the SMS meeting schedule. All these types of SMSes can be seamlessly configured and updated on the mobile application. Proactively updating parents through SMS can now be simply managed in a decentralised manner across all governments in a state.

Simple User Flow For Sending SMS

Configurable SMS templates

SMS templates can be defined and updated. Each SMS template is linked to a form that the teacher updates. Attendance form has pre-filled student data, teacher marks the absent students and in one click triggers the SMS to the parent. For Holiday announcement the teacher selects the start and end date and then triggers the SMS.

Seamless Integration with Govt SMS Providers

Once the SMS is generated it can be sent using any government or private SMS provider. For instance, Centre for Development of Advanced Computing Centre in Mumbai is a government agency that provides SMS facility for all government organisations and has an active integration with the Samwad application in Himachal Pradesh.

Offline Enabled

SMS can be triggered by the teacher even if there is no network connectivity. These SMSes will be sent forward for distribution to the concerned parents once the teacher is connected back online. The teacher will be notified about both, that there is no internet connectivity at the moment and when the SMSes are sent forward once online.

Summary of SMS Sent

A clear summary of each type of SMS sent is provided to the teacher to provide visibility of the SMS status. The teacher will be provided information regarding the total SMS sent, pending or failed, including the names of the students for which they are pending.

Configurable Mobile Application

Whitelabel UI

Whitelabel the mobile application by adding the theme colors, splash screens, login screens, logos, about us information based on your department branding.

Add / Remove Pages

Add custom pages within the application to share information with the users about the purpose of the application, tutorial videos regarding how to ‘Send an SMS’, helpline numbers, and instructions.

Jurisdiction Data Update

Update jurisdiction data consisting of districts, blocks, cluster, GPs, schools and more live from the backend. If a new school, GP or cluster is added it can be made live immediately.

New SMS Updates

New types of SMS can be remotely added on the application. Once the user comes online the new SMS templates and the related forms to trigger the SMS would be automatically updated on the user’s application.

User Authentication & Management

User Mangement

Create and manage users through a pre-designed admin panel and add variables for each user, who in this case would typically be the teachers of the government schools. In addition, if this data needs to be pulled from the state HR systems then the same is also facilitated in the application.

Role / School Based SMS Access

Enable or disable access to SMS templates based on the school. If SMSes need to be sent to parents for a particular initiative that is being conducted in select schools then new SMS templates and related forms can be added to the application remotely and made visible only for that specific set of schools.

View Profile Details (in App)

Allow users to view or edit specific variables of their profile information through the mobile application itself. Often latest contact numbers for all teachers are not available so user can update that through the application.

OTP Based Password Reset

Users can reset their passwords though an SMS based password reset functionality. If user credentials are created for a school then if a school head teacher is transferred then the new head teacher can update his/her details seamlessly.

Visualize Form Information
