Department Management System for Academic Institutions
Strivo is an Android-based department management application designed to streamline academic and administrative operations within a college department. The system is primarily built for HODs and faculty members to manage events, meetings, timetables, circulars, room availability, and departmental communication in a centralized platform.
In many educational institutions, department-level operations are handled using emails, paper records, and manual coordination, leading to inefficiencies and miscommunication. Strivo addresses these challenges by providing a digital, centralized, and real-time solution for managing departmental activities.
This project was developed as part of an MCA academic project with a focus on real-world problem solving using modern Android and Firebase technologies.
