Government school teachers in Haryana will now have their attendance marked on biometric machines, an official said here Wednesday.
“Attendance of teachers in Haryana will soon be recorded by their thumb impressions, as biometric machines are being installed in all government schools,” said School Education Director Vijayendra Kumar.
He said the new technique of marking attendance was being introduced to curb the tendency of teachers coming late to schools.
“All teachers would have to press a button of these machines with their thumb to mark their attendance. The machines would be installed in the office of the school principal,” he said.
Haryana has over 22,300 government schools.
What is biometrics?
The term biometrics is now widely known as “the science of measuring physical characteristics, to verify a person’s identity which includes voice recognition, iris and face scans, and fingerprint recognition.” This definition represents a recently created application used in the industrial-tech world.
Since biometrics is a system for measuring unique biological traits for the purpose of identification; it includes utilization of time clocks, the “easy way” to track and to report employees authentication to increase security, and the enhancemeant of access with the convenience of hand readers or finger prints; so, there is no further need for ID badges or time cards and the biometric system also eliminates the “buddy punching” of time cards or employees clocking each other in. When some recognition systems verify the identities of individuals by the size and shape of the hand, they do so without the fingerprints or palm prints being utilized.
Fingerprint recognition has emerged as one of the most popular and convenient biometric technologies because it is more accurate than voice recognition and cheaper than iris scanning, supporters say. Now, more and more everyday gadgets are coming equipped with fingerprint scanners including some cell phones.
A few airports and government agencies, such as the FBI, have dabbled with biometrics to identify employees. In recent months, a wave of new users, from schools to banks, have adopted the technology. The goal: tighten security, reduce security costs, and meet stricter laws imposed after the 2001 terrorist attacks.
