Vidhu Nair

An inspired and happy teacher who has been trying incessantly to bring changes in a
small village primary school in Kerala. A headmaster, since 2001, has accomplished numerous 
unique milestones to set models in the sphere of education in Kerala. Most of the
endeavours have been widely acclaimed and taken up by the state and central
governments later on.

1. Efforts have been made, ensuring social support, to make the school into the complete
smart school in the state of Kerala, way back in 2013.
2. Taking up the role of ‘the first among equals’, all the teachers of the school have been
equipped pedagogically and technically, to devise and develop Digital Learning Modules
to be administered in the smart classrooms.
3. An android mobile app, named Know My Child, has been developed to ensure that the
learning level of each child on each school day is shared personally to the respective
parent. For this, each learning outcome, set forth by the curriculum is graded and
fragmented so that the exact level of each child in respect of the learning outcome taken
up is determined qualitatively and shared with the respective parent.
4. Initiative has been successfully made and accomplished to set up biometric
attendance system in the school for both students and the staff. Thus, our school has
become the first one in the state to set up such a system.
5. The whole programme in the campus and the classrooms are telecast 24X7 LIVE to
the
parents to ensure transparency, Parents can watch the school processes ‘live’ all the
time, and this has brought a great impact on teachers to deliver the best of them in the
classrooms and to be imitable models in the campus.
6. An android mobile app named NAVAPRABHA has been developed for RMSA to
administer the daily academic achievement of each learner enrolled in a remedial
intervention programme. There have been slots to render 24X7 support by the subject
experts and the educational officers. The application ensured central monitoring by the
state office of RMSA to bring the best possible results in the programme.
7. A software has been developed for RMSA to conduct an online aptitude test for the
students of Standard 9 in all the schools in the state. The test was successfully
administered and 73 students of high aptitude levels in five different areas could be
selected for a National Exposure programme for which this applicant himself was the
coordinator of the project.
8. An android mobile app has been developed and launched for State Institute of
Educational Technology (SIET Kerala) to cater educational resources in English and
Social Science for the students of Std.10 in the State of Kerala.
