Aadhaar Based Attendance System – All India Launch


            Biometric attendance tools are a familiar sight amongst Indian offices, both Government and Private.

            The main drawback of such localized biometric attendance tools is the need to invest substantially to make it beneficial. Also, the data generation was not in a standardized format.

            Realizing the need for a simple, cost effective Attendance Tool, Shri.Ram Sevak Sharma (Popularily known as Shri RS Sharma), during his tenure as Chief Secretary-Jharkand conceptualized an Attendance System based on Aadhaar Numbers.

            The prerequisite for the Aadhaar Based Attendance system is that the respective employee should have an Aadhaar number, a very basic requirement.

            The Aadhaar Based Attendance system was launched in January 14 in Jharkhand. Over the past few months, the system has been fine tuned and the All India launch was done in October 14.

            The roll-out is being spear headed by National Informatics Centre (NIC) under the guidance of Department of Electronics & Information Technology.
Yes, Shri RS Sharma is the Secretary of Department of Electronics & Information Technology.
The statistics as on Date are as under:-
Number of Organizations’ – 149
Number of Registered Employees – 58286
            The initial rollout will be Central Government Offices located in New Delhi. Gradually, the Biometric Attendance System will be rolled out across India. The present target audience is the Government employees only.

            Employees can mark their attendance through wall mounted bio-metric attendance terminals, finger print scanning devices or IRIS devices.

            Time taken to Record Attendance is as low as 1-2 Seconds on Wi-Fi and 8-11
Seconds on GPRS (SIM). Two modes are preferred as a backup.

            The System has an in-built leave management system wherein an employee can
be marked “on leave” so that the system recognizes him/her as on leave and does not send a late attendance SMS.
