All the Regional Joint Directors and the District Educational Officers are

informed that the Department of School Education (CSE) intends to enable the

Personalised Adaptive Learning (PAL) solution in the ~3000 schools across all

districts in the State as approved by Samagra Shiksha Project Appraisal Board

2019. The objective of this intervention is to help teachers identify and improve

the student’s actual learning levels, provide relevant assessments and

educational content and help students to gain mastery at his/her grade level

learning outcome in an efficient, convenient and transparent manner.

In this connection, the School Education Department empanelled three PAL

software solution providers – ConveGenius, Mindspark and Funtoot and designed

a strategy to scale up these solutions in ~3000 schools across the State. This

project has been undertaken as ‘PAL programme’ and will be launched in two

Phases. In each of the Phases, there will be two models with two types of

hardware – schools with tablets (tablet model) and schools with laptops (laptop

model). The PAL software will be deployed as per compatibility on specific

hardware.

Accordingly, necessary bids have been floated in Government e-Market

(GeM), among them the TAB Solution has been finalized and work orders have

been issued to supply the infrastructure to the Phase-1 (300 Schools ), whereas

the Laptop model is to be finalized in a couple of weeks.
