Now students of Delhi Public School, Greater Noida, will have a tough time bunking school. A radio chip installed in the identity cards of students will inform parents about whether their wards have reached school. 
 
Elaborating on the plan, Renu Chaturvedi, principal of Delhi Public School, Greater Noida, told City Spidey that card readers being installed on the school gates will alert parents through an SMS. In case a student is playing truant, the parent will not receive an SMS.  
 
Chaturvedi said they had taken the initiative to prevent students from bunking class. She claimed that DPS Greater Noida was the first school in the Noida-Greater Noida region to implement this technology. DPS Saket was the first school in the NCR to have been equipped with this facility. 
 
Gautam Budh Nagar Parents Association has welcomed this step. Harendra Bhati, senior vice-president of the association, told City Spidey that nowadays students bunking school had become a major issue and parents, for the most part, remained clueless. Bhati added that other schools of the district should also adopt this measure.
