Porur in Chennai is an important locality and a government school in Porur is making sensational news now. The students, teachers belonging to the Government Higher Secondary School in Porur must feel happy and proud that their school has become first ever in the state of Tamil Nadu to issue smart identity cards for the students.
Last week a pilot programme was inaugurated at the above mentioned school in Porur and it grabbed many eyeballs. In this school nearly 800 students studying in the classes eleven and twelve were issued smart ID cards. The purpose of this smart ID card is to keep a check on the entry and exit of the students plus alert the school headmaster and the parents if the students bunk classes.
Brigantia is a firm that is involved in implementing this project and for that purpose this firm is working with the government. Mr. Ashok Kumar of this Brigantia expressed his views and spoke about how the smart ID card project has 2 main components namely a RFID or Radio Frequency Identification scanner and ID cards fitted with microchips. It is important to mention that the microchip has 10 different personal details of the students like name, address, name of father or guardian, name of the school, photography and year of issuance etc. All the entry and exit points in the school have got RFID scanners and when a student enter or leave through the gate then the scanners would read the microchip data. Whether the students are present or absent would be confirmed easily by means of a live digital attendance register monitored by the headmaster of the school.
Head of the school, Kamala Rani spoke about the ad-hoc arrangements and how a permanent monitoring system would be making its presence felt. The parents mostly do not know what their kids are doing in the schools. This would not be there anymore as a message would be sent to the mobile phones of the parents whenever a student enters or exit the school. By this method the students would not have any chance to cut or bunk the classes.
Mr. Ashok Kumar of Brigantia then revealed the fact that the scanners would suspend multiple entries from the same person and headmaster of the school would be alerted. As a result the students cannot give their ID cards to fellow students to bunk classes physically. He then spoke about how the ID cards have information about the blood groups of the students and these details would be useful in times of emergency.
According to school education minister, Mr. K. A. Sengottaiyan, this smart ID card project would also be expanded to include all the 70 lakhs students belonging to government, aided schools in TN.
