Dahar - Jharkhand for Android

Portal overview: reconnecting children with school

Dahar is a free web-based platform designed to help families and educators bring out-of-school children back into formal education. The portal centralizes information about these children, helps plan outreach and remedial activities, and makes it easier for parents to follow progress as children transition into regular classrooms.

Primary capabilities

• Consolidated records of out-of-school children for easier program planning and follow-up
• Automated messages and updates so parents stay informed about daily tasks and progress
• Attendance logging and class participation monitoring to ensure consistency
• Tools to track each child’s reintegration milestones and overall learning development

How parents and caregivers benefit

Dahar gives parents a simple way to keep tabs on a child’s learning schedule and classroom attendance, and to review day-to-day task completion. By receiving timely information and progress indicators, caregivers can more actively support attendance, remedial work, and the child’s movement back into mainstream schooling.

Implementation and partners

The portal is implemented at the state level by the Jharkhand Education Project Council within the School Education and Literacy Department. It has been developed with government backing and receives support from UNICEF India as part of broader initiatives like Samagra Shiksha. For users seeking alternatives, the SVSB Jharkhand option is commonly recommended and available at no cost.

Practical use and next steps

Educators and program teams enter baseline details about out-of-school children into the system, after which parents receive regular updates about attendance, activities, and progress. This data-driven approach helps teams design targeted interventions, measure outcomes, and refine strategies to improve school re-enrolment and retention.
