Government-run tribal hostels in Tripura will implement biometric attendance systems.
Hey there! Here's the lowdown on what's happening in Agartala, Tripura - the biometric attendance system is making its grand entrance in government-run tribal hostels!
The Tribal Welfare department has decided to implement this cutting-edge system to maintain a close eye on students' presence. As of now, the department oversees 164 tribal hostels, with 43 more under the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council. The state government pumps in around ₹80 crore each year for these hostels' upkeep.
At a recent review meeting, Minister Bikash Debbarma made several decisions to streamline procedures for a better student experience. Student attendance will now be monitored using biometric technology, which records attendance through fingerprint or iris scanning. This isn't just about keeping tabs - it's also about stamping out shady tricks in running the hostels!
The biometric system will first roll out in hostels directly managed by the department, with the second phase targeting hostels operated by TTAADC and NGOs. Developing a dedicated software is already in the works.
But it's not all about attendance - the department also aims to boost the food budget to ₹120 per student daily due to price hikes. And, get ready for smart classes in 100 hostels! Students will enjoy online classes via a centralized Agartala system. Plus, digital libraries equipped with 5G Internet connection are in the pipeline for each hostel. How cool is that?
The department won't forget the importance of a clean, green environment either. Plans are underway for clean and green awards at subdivision, district, and state levels to award hostels maintaining top-notch cleanliness and greenery.
Moreover, with the appointment of a superintendent for each hostel on the horizon, efficient management won't be a concern any longer.
