App Vidyalaya

One register for the whole school, from admission to alumni.

Students, hostel, meals, fees, staff, buildings and transport, kept in one place by the people who run the school. Built first for Veda pāṭhaśālās, and made for any residential, day or government school.

29 of 120 features are live today.

The Vidyalaya emblem: a guru teaching students under a tree, with the motto vidyā paraṁ daivatam.

Who it is for

One product, set up to fit the school.

Veda pāṭhaśālās and residential schools

Hostel and mess, a movement register for every departure and return, Veda progress, and the student's record from admission to alumni.

Day schools

Attendance, fees and receipts, progress cards to parents, transport for day scholars, library and laboratories.

Government schools

Oversight for the district and block education officer, Mid-Day Meal and breakfast schemes, vaccination records, and the lists authorities ask for, kept ready.

Start with what you use

At onboarding we ask which features the school uses today and which it plans to add this year, and switch on only those. A module that is off shows no screen, runs no daily jobs and sends no mail. Switching one on later is a single setting, with nothing to re-install. Existing records can be brought in from spreadsheets, and the school's operator is trained to run it.

Features by department

The same list the team builds from. Each badge shows where the feature stands today.
