Madhya Pradesh DPI Updates Teacher E-Attendance Rules and Safety Guidelines
The Madhya Pradesh Directorate of Public Instruction (DPI) has updated e-attendance rules for teachers and school employees, requiring attendance to be marked between 9:45 am and 10:45 am via the Humare Shikshak app. Attendance after 10:45 am is invalid unless a reason is provided. Teachers must complete six hours of duty. The DPI also advised caution during heavy rains, instructing teachers to avoid crossing swollen water bodies and to inform school authorities if unable to attend. Schools lacking network connectivity will be identified to assist guest teachers.
