Gandhinagar: Starting February 1st, a new digital attendance system for employees and officers will be introduced across all blocks of the new state secretariat, the Gandhinagar Collector and DDO office, Karmayogi Bhavan, and all government offices in Udyog Bhavan. This system will be implemented on a pilot basis for three months, while the existing attendance system will continue to function concurrently.

According to the General Administration Department, this new attendance system is being introduced to ensure regularity and discipline among officers and employees of various government departments, thereby enhancing the efficiency of governance. The system will help regulate attendance more effectively and monitor officers and employees who arrive late. Additionally, it will offer features such as office location mapping, attendance tracking, data analysis, and reporting. In the new system, an employee’s location will be tracked through their smartphone using geo-fencing from the time they enter the office complex until they leave.

The Deputy Secretary in charge of each department will act as the single point of contact for this project. The departmental administration will be able to create an admin for the office and sub-offices based on the ID of the single point of contact or an authorized officer. Gujarat Informatics Ltd. (GIL) will provide training and guidance to the system managers of each department for onboarding employees and officers. The portal and guidelines for this new system are available at https://attendance.gujarat.gov.in/. DeshGujarat
