Saral can be used across domains for applications that require quick and seamless phygitization of data - capture of physical data in a digital, structured format. This results in significant savings in terms of time and effort that would otherwise be required in order to capture the physical data in a digital format. Sunbird Saral has been successfully used by the state government of the largest state in India (Uttar Pradesh) to conduct state-wide assessments tests for about 17 million students from grade 1 to grade 8 - in order to garner a grassroots level understanding of the learning gaps, as well as the needs and challenges faced by the students. The state had a strong desire to gain a deeper understanding of student performance in order to effectively cater to various programs and student learning needs, which aim to achieve universal foundational literacy and numeracy in primary schools by 2025. However, traditional assessment methods bring forth several challenges - these methods were not at scale or student level, making it difficult to obtain reliable data for the state to make informed decisions. Additionally, the time it took for data to reach the central department from traditional assessment methods was too long, as the process involved physical question paper preparation, exam conduction, answer sheet evaluation, result generation and then manually digitizing results, leading to a delay of up to three to four months. The Saral solution replaces the old answer sheets with OMR-based answer sheets and allows teachers to scan the answer sheet through the Saral App. This process instantly digitizes data and allows the state to receive digitized data on the very same day of scanning. Quick and detailed information provided by Saral Assessments has empowered decision-makers to make data-driven choices and take prompt action to enhance educational outcomes in the state. The state is now also planning for a pilot program to explore the use of Saral for other teacher-led activities such as new student admissions to schools. The app can be used to quickly scan admission forms of students and transfer the data to the state backend systems, resulting in significant saving of time for the teachers.

PII data is collected and stored but NOT distributed.
cQube software has implemented many best practices to keep user data safe and secure. Anonymous individual user data is purged after it is used for computation of metrics. cQube mainly deals with aggregate data for creation and display of education metrics. Thus, there is no long-term storage of individual user data (temporarily processed and purged) to prevent the possibility of such data being exposed to unauthorized persons. cQube software has implemented data collection in an open and transparent manner. cQube software implements principles of minimalism, transparency of data collection, and other best practices. Please see earlier and following responses for details about privacy, safety of minors, and data security. Management of PII/non-PII data in cQube is purely a “highly extensible/configurable/non-opinionated open-software solution”, and it’s source code lies in GitHub (cQube is not a ‘hosted service or product’). Implementers/adopters of cQube, have the autonomy to decide “what” fields to capture/maintain, “what” other systems will they integrate with, “will” they share this data with other authorized parties (e.g. one Government sharing this dataset with other Government, or one Department sharing this dataset with other Department). While the cQube technical architecture has taken privacy and security controls into consideration as default implementation, it is up to the Implementers/Adopters to establish a privacy policy at their end to cover the various implementation scenarios (e.g. management & sharing of PII/non PII data).
