In a bid to enforce stricter e‑attendance rules, Madhya Pradesh’s local education commissioner Abhishek Singh personally logged attendance and urged over 300,000 teachers to adopt the system.
The Madhya Pradesh education department has intensified its push for e‑attendance compliance. On a recent visit to schools in Bhopal, Commissioner Abhishek Singh took attendance himself, setting an example for the state's teachers. He appealed to the 300,000‑plus teaching workforce to adopt the electronic system, citing the need for accurate records and accountability. The move follows a broader initiative to curb absenteeism and streamline attendance data.
Commissioner Singh emphasized that the e‑attendance platform will be monitored closely, and non‑compliance could lead to administrative action. Schools are expected to report daily attendance through the digital portal, ensuring that records are updated in real time.
The decision comes amid concerns that manual attendance practices have led to discrepancies and irregularities. By mandating electronic logging, the state aims to improve transparency and reduce the administrative burden on teachers.
