Description

At least 12 Delhi government schools confirmed that they had or were in the process of installing facial recognition technology in response to a Right to Information (RTI) query filed with the Directorate of Education in December 2020 by Anushka Jain, an associate counsel (Transparency and Right to Information) at Internet Freedom Foundation, a digital liberties organisation. 1

Speaking to The Wire, Jain said the project was launched by the Aam Aadmi Party government in 2019 for installing CCTVs in all Delhi government schools. “We asked the Education Department of the Delhi government at the end of 2020 if they were using facial recognition and they said yes. Most of the schools have also replied that it is in the process of happening or they are getting the information from the Education Department,” Jain said. 1
