MCD Launches School Web App, Disburses Scholarships to 500 Students

The move signals a broader push to digitize MCD schools to support students.

Overview

  • Delhi’s Municipal Corporation introduced a parent-facing web app across more than 1,500 municipal schools, giving families a single place to see school updates.
  • The app lets parents track classwork, homework, attendance, and other notices, with access provided through QR codes that families can scan at home.
  • MCD said 500 meritorious students received ₹1,000 each, with the money sent directly to their bank accounts to cut delays and leakage.
  • Officials noted the scholarship funds came from a private sponsor, and the mayor presented the awards at a ceremony highlighting the education push.
  • Leaders framed both steps as the start of a larger modernization drive for civic-run schools, with more initiatives planned to improve learning and welfare.
