Hyderabad: Telangana has connected all 430 government junior colleges to a live CCTV surveillance system monitored from Hyderabad, in a move aimed at tightening control over classroom teaching and staff discipline.
The Intermediate Board has nearly finished installing the network, fixing cameras in every classroom, laboratory, and principal’s chamber. Each college is equipped with no fewer than 10 cameras, all routed to a command and control room at the board’s Nampally headquarters.
Officials and academic reviewers will use the live feed to audit teaching methods, verify lecture schedules, and flag inconsistencies in real time. The new surveillance initiative is aimed at tightening oversight on teaching quality, staff attendance, and student discipline
Education officials said the system will force higher accountability from lecturers and curb laxity in lesson delivery. Footage from classes will be used to evaluate teaching performance and offer targeted feedback to faculty.
Senior education experts backed the surveillance rollout, calling it essential to raising academic standards and fixing systemic gaps in government-run institutions.
