NEW DELHI: A few days after Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar had forced around 100 officers of the Ministry to take leave for the day for coming late to office, the Ministry has decided to install biometric device for Attendance System.

The Ministry has called for quotations for such systems (through finger print/face detection/ smart card) with in-built time and attendance software in the Ministry in Shastri Bhavan, New Delhi.

The quotations have to be filed by the end of this month and will be opened the same day in the presence of those who bid.

The bid has to be furnished in a two-bid system: technical bid and financial bid. Details of the contents of these bids have been furnished on the website mib.nic.in.

The financial bid of only those firms will be considered which qualify for the technical bid.
