The Tripura government has announced that all skill‑training beneficiaries funded by the state will be required to record attendance through biometric devices starting 1 August.
The move aims to curb absenteeism and ensure that training funds are used effectively. By mandating biometric verification, the government hopes to improve accountability and track the progress of trainees more accurately.
The rule will be implemented across all state‑run skill development centres. Trainers will be supplied with fingerprint or iris scanners, and attendance logs will be uploaded to a central portal.
Officials say the new system will help identify genuine participants and reduce misuse of the skill‑development scheme.
