 Success Story - Gujarat state
government

 The Gujarat state government has initiated this project to ensure full enrolment of all
eligible students and to reduce dropout rate in primary schools.
 It was discovered that apart from socio-economic reasons, absenteeism of teachers,
particularly in tribal areas and remote villages is one of the most important reasons
for high dropout rates
 All noble initiatives of the State Government lose effectiveness and seriousness,
when teachers remain absent without due permission, for a long period. It was,
therefore, urgently needed to have a strong and reliable mechanism to monitor
attendance of teachers and students
•A standalone fingerprint biometric machine with external uninterrupted power supply
up to 12 hours installed in each primary school for recoding attendance of teachers
as well as students.
•The pilots is implemented by Bangalore based enterprise Software Solutions Lab (ESSL).
•The pilot project covers 680 primary schools, 70 Cluster Resource Centres (CRCs) and
4 Block Resources Centres (BRCs) in Narmada district, one of the most backward
districts of Gujarat having predominant tribal population and low literacy. It will cover
around 2,508 teachers and 76,000 students.
