In a major step towards improving education in Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi government has launched a technological initiative to distribute teacher guides for Class 3 Hindi and Maths across council schools. This initiative is expected to benefit approximately 148 lakh students and over 5,75,000 teachers and Shikshamitras working in the state’s 1,32,000 council schools, including primary, upper primary, and Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya residential schools.
The guides are being distributed through the newly launched ‘Kitab Vitran App’ (Book Distribution App), which uses QR codes to track and ensure the timely delivery of textbooks, workbooks, teacher guides, and other educational materials.

District and Block Education Officers, SRGs, ARPs, DIET mentors, headteachers, and teachers scan the QR codes upon receipt, enabling real-time monitoring by the state project office.
The Kitab Vitran App aims to bring transparency, accountability, and efficiency to the education system. The app allows state officials to monitor the distribution process directly, ensuring that teacher guides reach schools promptly and reducing delays or discrepancies.
With over 6,00,000 teachers now equipped with updated guides and instructions, teaching quality is expected to improve significantly. Class 3 students will particularly benefit in Hindi and Maths, as teaching will become more systematic and effective.
Responsibilities have been clearly assigned at every level, from BSA and BEO to headteachers and teachers. Physical verification of materials will be conducted by SRGs, ARPs, and DIET mentors, while mandatory reporting ensures accountability at all levels.

Director General of School Education, Kanchan Verma, added that the move will help the government use resources more effectively, improve teaching standards, and enable real-time decision-making in the education sector.
