Delhi University Staff Oppose Aadhaar-Based Biometric Attendance

Delhi University has introduced a new system where non-teaching staff must use their Aadhaar details to mark their attendance with biometric machines.

The staff union says it's unfair because teachers don't have to use this system.

Teachers are against the idea of using this system because they think it affects their dignity and independence.

The university has not yet decided whether to make teachers use the system too.

Some staff are worried that if they don't register, their salary might be affected starting in 2026.

Teachers have written to the university leader to say they don't agree with linking attendance to salary.
