The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi will soon let you have a look at what is happening inside the classroom where your child is studying. The installation of CCTV cameras in all government schools will give a chance to view any classroom through mobile application. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal reviewed the installation of the CCTV cameras in the government schools on Wednesday. 

“Each parent will be given access to see his child studying in class on real-time basis on his phone. This will make the whole system transparent and accountable. It will ensure safety of kids,” Kejriwal tweeted after the meeting. The move aimed at ensuring safety and security of students will have to be installed within three months, Kejriwal has directed the officials. 

According to the plan, the parents will be able to watch their children studying in classes on real-time basis on their mobile phones. An auto-complaint system will be put in place that will lodge complaints about the non-functioning of CCTV cameras. “The complaints will be automatically forwarded to the system integrator who will rectify it,” he further said. 

In September last year, Kejriwal had directed the education department to study the CCTV system in schools run by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) to check if it could be implemented in government-run schools.The move was spurred following the rape of a five-year- old girl at her school in Shahdara and the killing of a seven-year-old boy in a private school in Gurugram. The education minister, secretary (education) and director (education) will have the rights to view any classroom of any Delhi government school through an app at any point of time, once the project starts, said the official.
