The Farce of Biometrics...Was any part timer caught with this system ?
Biometrics was introduced in 2009. In RTI reply dated Oct 23 2010 from DCI signed by S.S. Arora suggesting that it was activated in all colleges (255). A subsequent RTI reply dated 18th May 2011 signed S.S. Kanyal says it has not been installed in 21 colleges which include colleges in which DCI members are staff. Even more comically it says that it is ‘installed and not connected to server’ (meaning dysfunctional) in 104 colleges. Notice the dichotomy in answers by two different PIO’s. This information means it is either not installed or is not working in 50% of the colleges 2 years after they began installing it at a cost of Rs 1, 65, 75,000/ (also received by RTI). From the date of installation date till September 2011 it has not identified a single person who was going part time. It will be laughable to imagine that during this period of time all the colleges had full time staff, each of whom were religiously attending college 240 days for 8 hours each day!! The biometrics was a farce AND now AGAIN ? Credits…Dr George Paul
