DEO Ineffective : Teachers' indifference towards e-attendance increased

#sagarwatchnews #e-attendence #education

Despite surprise inspections and strict warnings, many teachers in Sagar district still appear reluctant to adopt the mandatory e-attendance system — reflecting gaps in district-level management and the need for more proactive, tech-driven leadership.

Sagar Watch News | Under the directives of Collector Sandeep G.R., continuous surprise inspections are being carried out to ensure that government school staff follow e-attendance rules and remain present on time. As part of this ongoing drive, District Education Officer (DEO) Arvind Jain conducted sudden inspections on Tuesday in the Deori and Rahli blocks, visiting four government schools.

This inspection drive signals the administration’s intent to enforce discipline, but the repeated violations also underline a deeper challenge — the need for stronger monitoring, smarter leadership, and genuine technological adoption across the district’s education system.
