Economic Survey recommends biometric attendance in schools

The second edition of the survey has suggested the launch of a pilot project in the next 6 months

Soon saying “present” in the classroom to mark attendance in schools might be a thing of the past.

From biometric attendance for school students, direct transfer of salaries for teachers, risks involved in agriculture, to lack of transparency in governance, it is not just inflation targeting and growth prospects the second edition of the Survey covers.
