The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is planning to bring a new system into work with the introduction of a mass notification system to send alters to the student’s parents about activities and the performance of their wards in the school. The move aims to involve parents in their children’s educational as well as extra-curricular activities.
New MCD app to bridge the gap between parents and teachers
Mohammad Aaly Iqbal, deputy mayor of Delhi, submitted a proposal to Delhi Education Department to build a mobile app that will bridge the gap between parents and teachers.
“The mobile application can be downloaded on any Android phone and the parents would get a message every time their child enters or leaves the school. They will even have a system where the parents get a message on their mobile phones when their ward boards a school bus,” said Iqbal.

Delhi government acknowledges the proposal
The education advisors in the Delhi government have acknowledged the proposal and soon. The MCD will soon be inviting bids as it seeks to chalk out the plan with the best mobile developing company.
This mass notification system will be a hassle-free way to keep track of records of students on a real-time basis. Along with the notifications, the MCD school will also add report cards, attendance, and examination grades of each student on that app.
“This will be first of a kind initiative where parents of the MCD schools will get an alert as to when their child will enter or leave the school premises. Their exam grades, performance, activities, attendance etc will also be shared on the parent’s phone numbers.”
He added, “We will contact each of the families and will see who in the family has the phone. Our purpose is to keep the parents informed about their kids. I am sure this will give them enough satisfaction and they will get involved in their kids’ studies.” There are 1535 municipal corporation schools in Delhi and the strength varies depending on the capacity of the school.
