State Bureau, Jagran, Dehradun.

The government has given instructions to strictly follow the instructions for registering biometric attendance till January 20.
The government had ordered to register biometric attendance from January 1, 2026. In this regard, the government order issued on January 2, 2026 was not implemented. Describing this as regrettable, Higher Education Secretary Dr Ranjit Kumar Sinha issued orders to the Director of Higher Education as well as the Registrars of all government universities on Friday.
