Times Of India:
Govt school adopts mobile app to record students’ attendance.
The Government Higher Primary School at Hale Kesare village has become the first state-run school in the district to use a mobile app for recording students’ attendance.
The ‘Smart Attendance’ mobile app was launched on Saturday by the scion of the erstwhile Mysuru royal family Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar. The app has been developed by Genius Lead, United Kingdom-based software company, which was founded by Deepak Roy, a Mysurean and one-time resident of Hale Kesare village.
Pointing out that he had been able to realise his dreams by following his passion, Roy said, “I was good at computer science since my childhood. I worked without a salary, on my laptop for one year at my first job. I did it because I did not want to lose the opportunity of working at a good software company. I just followed my goal and improved my skills.”
Highlighting the environmental benefits of using an app for attendance in lieu of registers, Roy said, “Not only will the app ease the process of taking attendance, but it will also reduce use of paper at schools. If about 4,000 schools adopt this app, then more than ten trees can be saved from felling in a year. If all schools in the state adopt this technology, then more than 2,000 trees will be saved from the axe.”
