            The award nomination went through a rigorous scrutiny and evaluation process and was eventually given as Jury Choice Award to Punjab.

The main objective of envisaging the Punjab e-school project is to monitor the delivery of quality of education at school level as well as administering the internal functions of schools.

This covers all government schools about 19500. Currently the project has been opened to 6250 middle, high and senior secondary schools having around 70,000 teachers and 14lakh students. In future department is planning to roll out this project to rest 13000 primary schools.

This will help the district and state officials in monitoring the student management like child tracking, student enrollment, academics and inspection. Staff management like transfer, promotion & increment. Infrastructure management & deficiencies. The GIS links the MIS information with the map data where spatial queries, distance calculations and other GIS functions are possible. This helps in taking decision in a more proactive manner.

The system has a feedback system that helps in collating complaints and suggestions from the schools and other stakeholders and improving the system in a collaborative manner.
