Centre introduces AI-based verification upgrade in attendance app for rural jobs scheme

The government has upgraded the National Mobile Monitoring System used to record attendance for the rural employment scheme. The new version adds liveness detection, anti‑tampering safeguards, and stronger face‑verification technology. Rural workers will now be required to authenticate their presence through the app, which aims to curb fraud and improve data integrity for the scheme’s monitoring.
