Deepspatial Inc. (“DeepspatialAI” or the “Company”), an outcome-based artificial intelligence company that enables organizations to enhance their decision-making capabilities by leveraging the power of data and AI, recently announced the successful completion of a pilot programme and the official launch of its education platform under the Government of India’s Vidya Samiksha Kendra (VSK) initiative. This milestone marks a significant achievement in implementing the National Education Policy.
The VSK initiative, launched by the Indian Ministry of Education, aims to transform the education landscape in India. Its objectives include real-time monitoring of projects and activities, tracking student enrolment, identifying areas for improvement, enhancing academic performance and accountability, and developing a centralized dashboard to display real-time performance indicators. Under this initiative, the platform is being deployed in Meghalaya. Its AI-based learning analytics, assessment, and management system is critical to the entire VSK setup.
According to an official statement to the VSK centre, which aims to streamline data collection and leverage data visualizations to understand the realities within the state’s education frameworks, it will now act as a nerve centre for real-time data collection, information management and analysis. The statement added, “As an AI-driven learning enhancement and analytics platform, VSK is fed with data from a range of learning processes – attendance, budget and salary, mid-day meals, and student-teacher performance. The platform is uniquely customized for various processes including school monitoring, child tracking, rationalization and accreditation, and driving AI-driven skills assessment and career counselling“.
The fully integrated VSK setup was inaugurated by the Education Minister of Meghalaya, Shri Rakkam A Sangma, at the DERT Annexe, Malki, Shillong. The event, organized by the Department of Education in collaboration with SEMAM, marks a significant milestone in education technology.
While launching the centre during a programme, Education Minister Rakkam A Sangma urged the teachers to leverage the system with good faith and a learning approach. Sanga stated, “By having the system in place, we can now track the performance of the Department, institutions, students and teachers more efficiently. The minister of education further stated that although the process will initially be complex, it will eventually provide fruitful results. The system is designed to understand the reality of the situation of our children and our schools. The system is just another technology unless we contribute to its betterment and for improved changes in our state.
Deepspatial is committed to continuous innovation and improvement and is already working on new features and functionality to enhance the VSK platform further. The Company has also announced the appointment of David Goodman as an independent director. In exchange for services rendered, the organization will issue 960,000 common shares to a consultant in accordance with a consulting agreement at an issue price of $0.05 per share.
