Take Attendance in Seconds and Parents Get an Instant Message Alert

Mark attendance with 1 tap and Vidhyantu automatically sends a message to the parents of absent students, in Gujarati, within seconds.

Teacher marking attendance on a phone while a parent receives a message alert

Every coaching class owner has heard the same question from a parent: "Was my child in class today?" With Vidhyantu, the answer reaches the parent before they even ask. The teacher takes attendance on a phone, and the parent gets a message automatically.

The old way: register now, phone calls later

In most coaching classes the day looks like this:

  1. The teacher fills a paper register, which takes several minutes of class time.
  2. Someone has to remember who was absent.
  3. If the owner wants parents informed, a staff member calls them one by one.

On a busy day, those calls never happen. Parents hear about absence days later, and the class looks careless.

The new way: 1-tap attendance and an automatic parent message

With Vidhyantu, the same job takes a few seconds:

  1. Open the batch on any Android phone or iPhone browser.
  2. Tap only the absent students. Everyone else stays present.
  3. Save the attendance. The register is locked for the day.
  4. A message alert goes to the parents of the absent students automatically. No calls, no extra work for your staff.

What the parent sees

The parent receives a short message in Gujarati, for example:

નમસ્તે, આપનો પુત્ર આજે ધોરણ 10 ના વર્ગમાં ગેરહાજર છે.

(Hello, your son is absent from today's Std 10 class.)

There is nothing to install and no new login for the parent. They simply get the message.

Why this works better for your coaching class

  • Saves class time. Taking attendance takes seconds, so teaching starts sooner.
  • Parents trust you more. They see that the class notices every absence.
  • Fewer skipped classes. Students know their parents will find out the same day.
  • No phone-call burden. Staff stop spending their time on follow-up calls.
  • A clean record. Attendance is saved and locked, so monthly numbers are ready without hand counting.

Tips to get the most out of it

  • Collect the correct mobile number of one parent at admission and keep it updated.
  • Tell parents at the start that they will get an alert whenever their child is absent.
  • Take attendance at the start of class, so the message reaches parents early.
  • Follow up personally with parents of students who are absent several times.
