Securing The Hi-Tech Way To Integrate GSM, GPS And GPRS Technology In Student I-CardsBy nargis, Section Gurgaon in Cyberspace
Resorting to latest technology and technical gadgets, DPS is Integrating GSM, GPS and GPRS technology, by using chips in student identity cards.
To strengthen the security net and increase the safety of students the Delhi Public School Sector-45 has decided to integrate GSM, GPS and GPRS technology in student I-cards. Talking on the same Asheesh Prasad, administrator of the school said, " This is a small component of hardware which will be attached in the student's identity card and through RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), the student can be tracked in the school campus or school bus. Parents will immediately get the information about their kid. If the student is outside the vicinity of the school or the bus, an alarm will ring in the control room and parents will immediately get an SMS." What prompted the school to take recourse to such measures? Aditi Mishra, principal of the school informs, "Living in troubled times, we are constantly thinking how to improve the safety and security of the students. Nothing would be better than keeping the parents in direct contact with their children even while they are in the school or travelling in the bus. Besides, we are always open to using any new and innovative measures which could have a positive effect on our students." CLick On "Full Story" For More.......
Admittedly this measure is being implemented for the first time here with DPS being the first to venture in it. It has only been tried in a school in South Mumbai before. "Even the school teachers and staff will have this facility in their identity cards. The students have to deposit a security amount of Rs 2,700 and monthly fees of Rs 250. Once a student passes out from the school, leaving it for good, this amount would be refunded. We are gearing up for the process now and the measure is going to be implemented in March," informs the administrator.
Parents are also apperently satisfied with the this tech-measure. "This is really a welcome step and we are very positive on the school administration taking such measures to strengthen our children's security," says Nilu Sharma, a parent of a student. Does such a measure have any negative effects on the health of the children? Dr K Nath of DLF -IV says, "It is like a mobile phone we use every day. There is some radiation in mobile phone but we are still using it as a necessity. Owing to the security threat, we need such measures. If there is no problem then there is no question of ringing the alarm and no radio frequency radiation. I think there is nothing wrong in it." Does the school need any sanctions or approvals from the police in this regard? "Since this safety measure is an integral issue to the school, we are not involving the police, we don't require any permission from them," narrates the school principal.
