Row-level isolation
Every row in every table is scoped to a school. One school can never read another's students, marks or payments — the database enforces it, not the interface.
Why schools choose Vidya
Why schools move from registers, WhatsApp groups and spreadsheets to Vidya: Kannada parent portal, WhatsApp-first alerts, offline-ready phones and strict data isolation.
The Vidya way
The same school day, run two very different ways.
The traditional way
- Registers, diaries and paper circulars that go missing
- Fee arrears discovered only at the end of the term
- Parents calling the office to ask where the bus is
- Marks totalled by hand, report cards typed one by one
- Notices sent home in a bag and never read
- Data locked in one clerk's Excel file on one laptop
With Vidya
- One app on every phone — teacher, parent, driver and admin
- Live collection and defaulter numbers, every single day
- Parents track the bus on a map with ETA to their stop
- Grades, analysis and printable report cards generated instantly
- WhatsApp delivery with read status on every announcement
- Backed-up, tenant-isolated cloud data your school can export any time

Made for Karnataka
School software that speaks your school's language
Generic school ERPs are built for a head office in another state and then translated. Vidya starts from how a Karnataka school actually runs: a class teacher marking attendance on the way to the staff room, an accountant reconciling cash fees at the counter, and a parent who wants the answer on WhatsApp in Kannada, not in an email.
Whether you run a single 300-student State board school in a taluk town or a trust with eight CBSE campuses across districts, the same platform scales — each school isolated, all of them visible from one console.
- Class names that match Karnataka practice — LKG, UKG and 1st Std to 10th Std — with sections added only when a standard actually has more than one.
- State board, CBSE and ICSE grading patterns configured per school, so report cards look like the ones your office already issues.
- Kannada interface for the parent portal, because reach matters more than polish when half the parents read ಕನ್ನಡ first.
- WhatsApp as the default channel — the one app every parent already checks, instead of an SMS gateway nobody reads.
- Fees in rupees with term-wise structures, part payments and offline cash entries recorded the same way as digital ones.
- Designed for the phone the school actually has: a mid-range Android on a patchy 4G connection.
Trust
Student data, handled the way a school should handle it
Names, photos, marks, addresses and payment history belong to families. Here is exactly how they are protected.
Role-based access
Teachers, accountants, admission staff, librarians, health officers, drivers and parents each see only their modules, checked again on the server for every request.
Audit trail
Sensitive actions — marks changes, fee entries, promotions, credential resets — are logged with who, what and when.
Backups & recovery
Managed daily backups with point-in-time recovery, so an accidental deletion is a restore, not a disaster.
Built for weak networks
A progressive web app that installs from the browser, caches the screens staff use most and keeps working when the connection drops.
No app-store dependency
Nothing for parents to download or update. A link opens the portal; WhatsApp carries the alerts.
Onboarding
From sign-up to first attendance in a single morning
No consultants, no on-site installation, no server to buy. Four steps, done from a laptop or a phone.
- 01
Create your school
Sign up, name the school, pick your board (State, CBSE or ICSE) and set the academic year. Classes follow Karnataka naming — LKG, UKG, 1st Std through 10th Std — with sections only where you actually have them.
- 02
Bring in students and staff
Add students one by one or in bulk with parent phone numbers, transport stop and documents. Login credentials for parents, teachers, accountants and drivers are generated automatically and delivered over WhatsApp and email.
- 03
Switch on the daily routine
Build a conflict-free timetable, mark attendance from a phone in under a minute, assign homework, publish marks and raise fee invoices for a student, a class or the whole school.
- 04
Keep parents informed automatically
Absentee alerts, homework updates, exam results, fee reminders and bus-approaching notifications go out on WhatsApp without anyone typing a message. Parents reply to the class teacher in the in-app chat.
