Briefing the Special Secretary, Krishna Aditya, Director of Intermediate Education & Secretary, TGBIE, highlighted that all GJCs have been equipped with CCTV surveillance and facial-recognition-based attendance systems. He explained that these measures have strengthened student safety, improved staff deployment and enabled real-time monitoring of institutional performance.
