As part of the Digital India programme, Narendra Modi government has launched a website- Attendance.gov.in, to track the attendance records of government employees.
The website is expected to bring more transparency as it would provide and update information about central government employees on real-time basis.
The attendance web portal will use the information entered in the biometric devices and will act as a centralised management information system (MIS) for attendance.
Under the new attendance system, the employees would be able to mark their attendance using biometric reading devices in various government offices.
It will facilitate employees mark their attendance at other central offices also which would help the government to track their movements.
This is just a minuscule part of the grand plan, named ‘Digital India’, to revamp the way the government functions today—for the citizens and also for the business community; from taxation to government clearances and public services, everything will be covered on this integrated platform.
