Once the project starts, it was decided in the meeting that the Education Minister, Secretary Education and Director Education would have the rights to view any classroom of any Delhi Government schools through the app at any point of time.

There would be an auto complaint system to check the non-functioning of any CCTV installed in the schools. The auto system would itself lodge an complain and it will go to the system integrator who would then rectify the camera.

The Chief Minister said, “Each parent will be given access to see his child studying in class on real-time basis on his/her phone. This will make the whole system transparent and accountable and would ensure safety of kids”.
