Biometric Attendance System

All schools, colleges, universities and research centres under State Governments and Central Government have introduced and are introducing the procedure of Unique Identification (UID)/Aadhaar Biometric Attendance Recording System and CCTV system for students, teachers and non-teaching employees. It is mandatory in both private and public institutions .The capturing of fingerprints and iris scan and CCTV is illegal and illegitimate. If this is not stopped then this will pave the way for genetic determinism and legitimization of eugenic thinking. The students and teachers and non-teaching staff should not be compelled to enrol for UID/Aadhaar or any other biometric identification.

The opposition to the biometric attendance and CCTV installation is there because it entails keeping scan of faces and iris scan eyes of students, teachers and non-teaching employees and keep them online on computer/internet. This fact in itself is illegitimate, dangerous and worth pondering. The scanned photograph and biometric details can be, intentionally or unintentionally, misused by any agency (the one that will be privy or have access to the data.). For instance, if any criminal and terrorist organizations gains access to this data, then it can be used with catastrophic repercussion. In such an eventuality, who will be responsible? The situation accentuates in case of female workers and employees.
