MCI announces system to track faculty attendance in colleges
Advertisement
India’s medical education regulator today announced a digitisation initiative for tracking in real time daily attendance of faculty in medical colleges across the country, in a move aimed at exposing ghost faculties in institutions and making the process transparent.
Under the Digital Mission Mode Project (DMMP), the Medical Council of India (MCI) will be able to monitor attendance of faculty members in about 439 medical colleges through biometric system.
The new system also envisages ‘One Country One Registration’ under which doctors will be issued electronic Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) registration card for their documentation which will enable them to practice across the country by registering with the MCI one time.
“The most remarkable thing of this project is monitoring of attendance of faculty through a biometric system and a unique identification for each and every medical practitioner across the country. There have been issues of fake and ghost faculty in many medical colleges.
