Hi Rohit
I would read about moodle and school server XS so you at least know what

moodle can be used for managing teacher/student/parent access, curriculum

I recommend you look at XS or at least look at using Moodle. Students can
submit their work in assignments on moodle, for example.
Lots of people / places use Moodle so getting help is easy, there are
public forums on moodle.org and there are Moodle partners.
