SMILE App, an initiative of the Nagaland Education Project—The Lighthouse (NECTAR) under the Department of School Education (DoSE) was launched today during the Statehood day celebration. It is a comprehensive tool that uses advanced technology such as facial recognition, timestamping, and geofencing for marking attendance, leave application, and tracking its status.

This initiative aims to promote efficient administrative practices, improve data-driven decision-making, and foster a culture of accountability and transparency in the education system. The App also makes it accessible to all employees regardless of technical skill.

Regular usage of the App will foster familiarity with modern technology and will also contribute to their professional growth and help in transitioning Nagaland to a digital and data-driven system in Nagaland.

Overall, the SMILE App will enhance data integrity and alleviate administrative burdens by addressing the challenges of proxy attendance and manual record keeping, improving the overall management of school resources.

SMILE App will become operational for schools at the start of the academic session of 2025 and from 2nd January 2025 for Department establishments.
