Railways will commence trial run for Aadhaar-enabled biometric attendance system at Rail Bhawan from tomorrow.
All the employees who have enrolled on the system shall start making their attendance on the biometric machines installed at the Rail Bhawan, said a senior Raiway Ministry official.
However, the official clarified that biometric attendance system will be carried on in addition to the regular marking of attendance in the registers.
There will be nominated section officers to ensure that the new system is active for marking attendance at the start and end of the day.
Biometric attendance system is a foolproof technology to ensure the accuracy of attendance and is useful to big organisations and government offices. A biometric roll call system which will track their attendance at the government offices and the hours spent at work.
Besides Rail Bhawan, railway offices at Pragati Maidan and at directorates of various section officers are also being equipped with the system.
