Kartavya-KAAMS (Karnataka Advanced Attendance Management System
News –
- The Department of School Education and Literacy (DSEL) in Karnataka has launched the Kartavya-KAAMS (Karnataka Advanced Attendance Management System) mobile app
- Objective – to monitor the attendance of permanent teaching and non-teaching staff.
How the App Works
- Technology: Integrates Artificial Intelligence, Facial Recognition, and GIS-based geo-fencing to verify attendance.
- Usage: Staff are required to click a “selfie” to mark their “In Time” (arrival) and “Out Time” (departure) twice daily from their assigned duty location (e.g., school, training, or exam center).
- Verification: The system uses liveness detection and geofencing to ensure employees are within a 100-meter radius of their designated workplace.
Important Rules & Timelines
- Mandatory Rollout: Effective from the 2026-27 academic year, it is completely mandatory for all teaching, non-teaching staff, and headmasters.
- Salary Disbursement: The old biometric attendance systems have been replaced, and only attendance registered via the Kartavya-KAAMS app will be considered for payroll processing and salary release.
- System Integration: The platform links directly to the state’s Human Resource Management System (HRMS) and the Students Achievement Tracking System (SATS).
