Vijayawada: In a proactive move aimed at ensuring attendance, the state government has issued a directive mandating the adoption of a biometric attendance system for professors and assistant professors across all medical colleges. This step was taken to ensure that no government doctor can ignore their duties to work at private clinics.
Last year, the state government introduced the Facial Recognition Based Attendance System (FRBAS) across all departments, emphasizing the importance of employees working from their designated workspaces. Under this system, employees are required to register their attendance three times a day— at 9 am, 2 pm, and 4 pm. While the majority of employees have adhered to this protocol, concerns arose regarding doctors taking advantage of the flexibility as they leave to attend private clinics right after marking their attendance, reports the Times of India. Taking cognizance of this problem, NMC recommended the swift implementation of a foolproof biometric attendance system, ensuring a more accurate and tamper-proof method of monitoring faculty attendance.
