New Delhi:
The Delhi government has proposed introduction of electronic chip-fitted identity cards for students to check bunking in schools and ensure higher attendance.
At present, there are around 1,000 government schools in the national capital with over 15 lakh students.
"We have plans to introduce electronic chip-fitted cards for students which will be connected to sensor-based CCTV cameras installed in institution premises.
"With this chip, the government will be able to keep a check on bunking of class by students and sharing the information with parents," Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who also holds education portfolio, said.
The government will also develop a 'School Village', which will have 10 schools specialising in different categories like science, sports, commerce, in North-East Delhi, the minister said.
"Government has found 30 acres land for developing School Village in North-East Delhi. It may take around one year to complete the project," Mr Sisodia added.
