The Indian government is making its employee attendance records available online. Using the Aadhaar system, employee attendance data will be tracked in real-time and made publicly visible via an online portal.
The portal is currently providing a graphical representation of government attendance numbers for nearly 50,000 registered employees in 150 government organizations. Attendance is tracked through the use of a new biometric attendance system that makes use of the government’s Aadhaar system.
Aadhaar, the world’s largest biometric database, is governed by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), and is currently used to authenticate delivery of social services including school attendance, natural gas subsidies to India’s rural poor, and direct wage payments to bank accounts.
