Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City · 150+ schools · 40K+ students|शिक्षा मन्त्रालय

Nepal's schools still run on paper. Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City won't.

Right now, a teacher marks attendance in a register. A parent waits weeks for a grade. A student studies alone with no one to ask. Dhangadhi Smart replaces all three — one government-managed platform, in Nepali, built for the classroom Nepal actually has.

01 / 06 · Student Learning Portal

Students see their day, not a schedule.

A clean, personal home that opens to today's classes, what's due, and what to catch up on — built so a Grade 8 student can use it without a tutorial.

  • Today, at a glance. Live class status, next bell, attendance streak, grades trending up or down.
  • Recorded lessons. Re-watch any class, offline-ready, on a feature phone or a school tablet.
  • Progress without surprises. Per-subject trajectory — so no parent learns about trouble at term-end.

02 / 06 · Teacher Command Centre

Teachers run the classroom — not the paperwork.

One screen for live attendance, the class roster, performance analytics, parent messages, and a one-click way to alert any family.

  • Attendance in 30 seconds. A 48-tile class grid, tap-to-log, auto-pushed to parents.
  • Who needs me today. An at-risk panel surfaces students slipping before exam season does.
  • Reports that write themselves. Term-end reports generated from the data you've already entered.
Open the Command Centre
03 / 06 · Parent Notification System

Every parent. Even on a feature phone.

Real-time alerts on attendance, grades, assignments, and announcements — in the parent app for connected families, and as plain Nepali SMS for everyone else.

  • SMS-first. Same alerts, written in Nepali, delivered by text — no smartphone required.
  • Two-way. Reply to a notification and it routes straight to the originating teacher.
  • Quiet hours & opt-outs. Parents control channel mix and frequency via app or SMS keyword.

An AI tutor who speaks Nepali — so no student studies alone.

Built into the Student Portal. Tap the microphone, ask in Nepali, and Sajilo listens, understands, and explains — patient, friendly, and never busy.

  • Voice-first, Nepali-first. Same script, same idioms, same warmth — like a kind older sibling.
  • Grounded in the lesson. Answers from Ministry curriculum + your teacher's recorded lessons, not the open internet.
  • Honest about limits. When Sajilo isn't sure, it offers to forward the question to a real teacher.

The pilot plan, by the numbers

A six-month pilot across five districts — every condition Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City will need to scale into.

25
Pilot schools
Urban, peri-urban, and rural — chosen to reflect Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City's full geographic spectrum.
5
Districts
Hasanpur, Chatakpur, Campus Road, Attariya, and Geta.
10k+
Students enrolled
Every one of them with a personal dashboard, in their language.
6mo
Pilot duration
With independent third-party review at the midpoint, and a public impact report at the end.
Governance & data sovereignty

Province ownership, by default.

Dhangadhi Smart is operated under Province data sovereignty at all times. The government retains all data, infrastructure, and control — with public reporting, independent oversight, and a clean handover into Province operation at the close of the pilot.

Read the governance model

Province data sovereignty

All student and school data is owned and governed by the Province — no third-party sharing without explicit government approval.

Steering committee oversight

Chaired by the Chief Minister's Office, with quarterly reviews and approval of every expansion milestone.

Independent monitoring

A third-party academic or civil society partner conducts bi-annual reviews — and publishes public impact reports.

Built to last beyond the pilot

The platform transitions fully into Province ownership at month 18 — no ongoing vendor dependency.

Roll-out · 18 months · 4 phases

From decision to province-wide impact in 18 months.

01
Months 1 — 2

Foundation

MoU signing, governance setup, school needs assessment, curriculum configuration, teacher & admin orientation.

A Mathematics teacher · Bhaktapur · on seeing the platform
I teach 48 students. With this I'd save 10 minutes per class on attendance, know which child didn't understand yesterday's lesson before exam results arrive, and reach a parent without hunting for their phone number.

Our partnership proposal · to the Office of the Chief Minister

Let us build this together.

150+ schools. 40K+ students. Teachers still marking attendance by hand. Parents waiting for term-end to learn their child is behind. The platform is built. The governance framework is designed. The pilot is ready. What remains is one decision.
