Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 17 (NationPress) The Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE), the state government's key agency driving digital advancements in the education sector, has once again received national acclaim, highlighting Kerala's increasing prominence in technology-enhanced public schooling.
KITE's leading artificial intelligence initiative, Samagra Plus, has been awarded at the 6th Governance Now Digital Transformation Summit. This accolade, given in the category of 'Excellence in e-learning, Assessment and Digital Education Platform', was presented in Delhi.
This recognition positions Samagra Plus among the nation's most influential digital governance efforts, especially in education. Samagra Plus is an AI-driven learning platform tailored to personalize education according to the students' academic levels, learning speeds, and unique needs.
The system comprises a range of sophisticated tools, such as AI-enabled chatbots, interactive quizzes, games for English language learning, speech assistants, and specialized assessment modules. Collectively, these features aim to transform classrooms from a uniform approach to a more adaptive, student-centered learning environment.
KITE CEO K. Anvar Sadath emphasized that the platform was developed strictly in alignment with the prescribed curriculum, addressing a significant concern often linked with AI in education. “By closely aligning AI tools with the curriculum framework, Samagra Plus effectively mitigates the risk of algorithmic bias while maintaining pedagogical integrity,” he remarked.
This latest recognition marks the second significant national award for Samagra Plus in rapid succession. In December 2025, the platform was honored with the Education Technology Transformation Award at the 19th Digital Transformation Conclave held in Bhubaneswar, indicating its increasing acceptance on a national scale.
Education experts view these consecutive accolades as a testament to Kerala's sustained investments in digital infrastructure for public education. In a time when various states across India are exploring AI in classrooms, Samagra Plus distinguishes itself by integrating innovation into a strong public education framework.
With national attention now firmly on Kerala's approach, KITE's accomplishment reinforces the state's reputation as a leader in utilizing technology to enhance equity, quality, and access in school education.
