Streamlining Student Monitoring in Tripura's Tribal Hostels 🔥
Government-run tribal hostels in Tripura to adopt biometric attendance systems for improved accountability and student monitoring.
Agartala ☂️
After a recent review meeting, Tripura's Tribal Welfare department has decided to kick start a biometric attendance system across all government-run tribal hostels. The aim? A more transparent and efficient monitoring system for students. 📈
The Tribal Welfare department operates 164 hostels, with an additional 43 under the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council. The government spends roughly ₹80 crore annually on these hostels.
Tribal Welfare Minister Bikash Debbarma revealed that this digital shift will help eliminate attendance discrepancies and allegedly fraudulent practices in hostel administration. 🕵️♀️
Director of the Tribal Welfare department, Subhasish Das, further clarified that the biometric system will initially be implemented in hostels under the department's direct control. 🤖
Initiatives are also underway to develop a specialized software for this new system and to extend its use to tribal hostels managed by TTAADC and NGOs in the second phase. 💻
Additionally, the department is proposing an increase in food allowance from ₹80 to ₹120 per student daily due to rising prices. 🥨
In the near future, smart class facilities will be introduced in 100 hostels, enabling students to access online classes from a centralized location in Agartala. The proposed e-library facility will equip hostels with 5G Internet connections. 🎒
To further promote a cleaner and greener environment, the department is planning to introduce "clean and green awards" for hostels at the subdivision, district, and state level. 🌱
Furthermore, steps are being taken to appoint a superintendent for each hostel to ensure efficient management. 🤔
On a broader scale, the implementation of biometric attendance systems is part of a comprehensive effort to modernize and streamline infrastructure across Tripura's tribal hostels. 🚀
