"To re-imagine our classrooms, be in sync with time and technology and engage stakeholders in constant conversation to do and achieve more, is the aim of this application besides being sort of a report card of states with details of their higher education policies, plans and best practices, " Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar said at the launch.
"Each will get a varied level of access to the app depending on their role and functionality," he added.
