Karnataka launches Kartavya AI attendance app for government employees
Karnataka just rolled out Kartavya, an AI-powered attendance app for government employees.
Introduced on Monday, it uses geofencing and facial recognition to verify attendance, while also letting staff apply for leave and register official out-of-office duty details: no more long lines at biometric machines.
Built in-house by the state's tech teams, Kartavya also keeps data safer and cuts out vendor costs.
Karnataka's Kartavya tops 300,000 registrations
In just one week, more than 55,000 new users signed up, pushing total registrations past 300,000. Daily active users jumped by 25%.
What started as a pilot in Health and Family Welfare and School Education is now live across 42 departments.
Plus, senior officials can track attendance via dashboards, making things more transparent and efficient for everyone.
