RFID to curb ‘ghost’ medical faculty

Teaching faculty in medical colleges will no longer be able to work in different medical colleges at the same time. In a bid to deter “ghost faculty” in medical colleges, the Medical Council of India has made it mandatory for colleges to introduce the radio frequency identification (RFID) system to track the movement of faculty members. RFID is a fool-proof system which will have a photo of the individual, degrees obtained, personal details and fingerprints. The database will then be integrated into Aadhaar cards of the faculty members.
