MANUU Seminar on Gender & Attendance App Launched
A university in Hyderabad is holding a big meeting (seminar) to talk about important topics like gender and health.
The meeting will include discussions on how technology is changing things.
At the same time, schools in the area are using a new system to take attendance.
Teachers and staff use their faces to mark themselves present.
Most schools have started using the new system, but some had a slower start.
The new system is designed to make sure everyone is accounted for, which is especially important for schools.

The seminar is organized by the Centre for Women’s Studies and the department of sociology, with RC30-Digital Sociology.
Prof. Syed Ainul Hasan will chair the inaugural session, and Prof. Sushila Kaushik will attend as chief guest.
