Description

This is a facial recognition app which is used in the state of Gujarat by primary school teachers in order to mark their attendance in government schools.

A new system of marking attendance using face recognition technology kicked into place for primary school teachers in Gujarat on September 5. 1

After an online attendance system for nearly 2.5 lakh government and grant-in-aid primary school teachers was introduced in December 2018 along with geo-tagging and geo-mapping for the Block and Cluster Resource Centre (BRCs and CRCs) co-ordinators, the Gujarat education department planned to move a step further by introducing a facial recognition attendance system. The system was launched by Chief Minister Vijay Rupani on Thursday which was celebrated as Teachers’ Day. 1
