About the Project

A digital mission to leave no child behind

The DAHAR Project is an initiative by the School Education & Literacy Department, Government of Jharkhand, aimed at identifying and re-enrolling out-of-school children (OoSC) who have left the education system due to social, economic, or personal reasons.

Through this digital platform, schools conduct village-wise household surveys to track such children and ensure their re-enrolment into mainstream education — managed systematically at district, block, and school levels.

How DAHAR Works

From habitation mapping to re-enrolment

A clear, role-driven workflow ensures every household is surveyed and every out-of-school child is accounted for.

1

Tag Villages

Headmaster tags villages & adds habitations (Tolas) with household counts under their jurisdiction.

2

Assign to Teachers

Habitations & households are allocated to teachers — workload distributed across the school.

3

Conduct Survey

Teachers survey households door-to-door, recording children who are out of school.

4

Verify & Approve

District & State officers verify child records and approve requested villages for accuracy.

5

Re-enrol

Identified OoSC are brought back into mainstream education through targeted drives.

Platform Capabilities

Everything administrators need, in one place

Built for state and district administrators, headmasters, and teachers — with powerful tools for data integrity and monitoring.

Live Dashboards

Habitation mapping & survey analytics with block-wise progress, coverage rates and real-time key metrics.

Habitation Management

Add, modify & manage Tolas with household allocation — increase, decrease, or reassign with full safeguards.

Rectify & Data Integrity

Delete duplicate or excess surveys, reassign households, remove wrongly-tagged habitations — with archive metadata.

Approvals Workflow

Review requested villages & verify surveyed children — edit, approve or reject with remarks for full accountability.

OoSC Reports

Category-wise & reason-wise out-of-school children analytics to design targeted re-enrolment strategies.

Freeze & Lock Controls

Lock tagging data after allocation to preserve survey integrity — with school freeze/unfreeze administration.
