About the role
Gunotsav is an effort of Government of Assam started in 2017 for the first time to track the performance of every child in elementary and secondary level, assess their individual learning gap and devise remedial measures to be taken for their improvement. It is an accountability framework for improving quality of education which includes learning outcomes of children along with co-scholastic activities and use of resources including community participation.
The four core areas viz. Scholastic (learning outcomes of children), Co-scholastic, Infrastructure and community participation are evaluated in Gunotsav exercise. Schools are graded as A+, A, B, C and D on the basis of performance (90% on Scholastic , 5% each on Co-scholastic & other areas and Community Participation & Contributions). This exercise helps in identifying the learning gaps and ensuring taking appropriate remedial measures for attaining grade specific learning outcomes by all children.
