On 13th October 2023, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shri Yogi Adityanath, inaugurated the “Online Recognition Portal” for UP Board Schools, marking a significant stride towards modernizing the education system. Hosted at Lok Bhawan, Lucknow, the launch promises to streamline the recognition process for schools under the Secondary Education Department, Government of Uttar Pradesh (GoUP).
The crux of this portal lies in its end-to-end software solution, which caters to the comprehensive needs of school management seeking recognition. This innovative platform initiates the application process, where school managements can seamlessly begin their recognition journey. Upon completion of the application and payment of fees through the Rajkosh (U.P. Treasury Online System), the progress is reflected on the dashboard of the respective District Inspector of Schools (DIOS) login.
A remarkable feature of this portal is its integration with various external departments, including Treasury, Revenue, Fire, and others. Each department plays a pivotal role in the online generation of No Objection Certificates (NOCs) once the application is visible on their respective logins. The DIOS meticulously evaluates each application against qualifying parameters and verifies the online NOCs received from the concerned 11 external departments.
Upon approval by the DIOS, the application seamlessly navigates through the departmental hierarchy via the Board’s login and further proceeds to the Regional Office. Approved applications then ascend to the Apex State Government for the final stamp of recognition, thus granting official acknowledgment to schools under the UP Board.
The inauguration ceremony witnessed the esteemed presence of Hon’ble Smt. Gulab Devi, MoS (Independent Charge), Secondary Education, GoUP, and other dignitaries, signifying the importance and gravity of this transformative initiative.
Acknowledgements were extended to the National Informatics Centre (NIC UP) for their timely development and hosting of the “Online Recognition Portal” under the guidance of State Informatics Officer, Shri R.H. Khan, Scientist-G & DDG.
