Low attendance on Hamare Shikshak App despite orders
Indore: Despite orders from the divisional commissioner to ensure 100% teacher attendance through the 'Hamare Shikshak' app by July 31, Indore district saw no compliance. Not a single Block Resource Coordinator (BRC) submitted the mandated 100% attendance certificate, and app usage among teachers remains abysmally low. According to the District Project Coordinator (DPC) office, the directive required BRCs to certify that all teachers in their respective blocks started marking attendance on the app. However, even ten days after the deadline, no certificates were received, and attendance levels showed no significant improvement. Current records reveal that only about 10% of the district's govt school teachers are using the app to mark attendance. The 'Hamare Shikshak' app, rolled out statewide on July 1, was designed to digitally capture teachers' attendance in real time and upload it directly to the Education Portal 3.0. Officials hoped the system would improve transparency, curb absenteeism, and allow higher authorities to monitor attendance remotely. Teachers, especially those working in rural parts of Indore district, have expressed strong reservations. Many cite poor mobile network coverage as a major hurdle, making it difficult to log attendance consistently. Others say the app was launched without sufficient field testing, leading to frequent technical glitches. "We come to school to teach, not to spend time troubleshooting an app," said one teacher, reflecting the frustration among staff. Officials warned that failure to record attendance on the app could be treated as absence and may result in salary deductions. Despite this, adoption has been slow. Indore district has around 1,100 govt schools employing roughly 6,500 teachers, but only a small fraction have embraced the digital system. DPC Sanjay Kumar Mishra said, "Attendance through the app is mandatory as per govt orders. All BRCs were instructed to submit 100% compliance certificates, but none did so. Necessary steps will now be taken to ensure full implementation." The situation has once again highlighted the challenges of enforcing digital monitoring in govt schools, as technological limitations and user resistance continue to hinder policy execution in the Indore district.
