Divya Delhi : The West Bengal government has announced plans to introduce a mobile phone-based attendance system across various departments to improve administrative efficiency and ensure better monitoring of employee attendance. Under the new system, government employees will be able to register their attendance through a digital platform using their mobile phones. The initiative is aimed at reducing manual record-keeping, preventing errors, and bringing greater transparency to government offices. Officials said the move is part of the state government’s efforts to promote digital governance and modernise administrative processes. The new system will help departments maintain real-time attendance data and improve accountability among employees. The government is currently working on the technical framework and implementation guidelines for the system. Training and awareness programmes may also be conducted to ensure smooth adoption among employees. Digital attendance systems have already been adopted by several organisations to streamline workforce management and improve operational efficiency. The West Bengal government believes that technology-based solutions can help strengthen public administration and improve service delivery. The initiative is expected to be introduced gradually across departments after necessary trials and evaluations. Officials said the system will support better management of government offices and help create a more efficient working environment. The move marks another step towards expanding the use of digital technology in governance and improving the functioning of state departments.
