Yogi Adityanath Government installed biometric attendance devices in the schools

The government led by Yogi Adityanath has decided installed biometric attendance devices for the students studying in primary schools run by the state government.     The government has already made yoga compulsory in state-run primary schools.Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Minister Satish Dwivedi has announced that students can now "put their thumb impressions between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m." The minister further said that the system would check the attendance and will help in decreasing the drop out rate among the children.The facility will also help in keeping tabs on anomalies such as bogus and inflated enrolment."The number of students enrolled in primary schools is huge, so, we have kept the timing flexible. The Panchayati Raj Department will ensure the effective working of the biometric system," Dwivedi said.Biometric machines will not only be installed for the students but for the school staff as well. Now, the staff members will also have to mark their attendance on a biometric machine. According to the sources, the government will take two to three months to install biometric machines at all the schools which will be able to transfer the data to the server. In some areas, the electricity supply is a problem but that area is also being worked upon."It has been yielding good results. We are in the stage of finalizing the specifications," said an official.
