no cctv cameras to be installed in classrooms - cameras in classrooms

Chandigarh: there will be no CCTV cameras in the classroom of Panjab University, and departments willing to install CCTV cameras must submit a separate proposal to a committee that will develop a model.
It was decided at the chairman's meeting on Thursday.
A committee will be set up to investigate the requirements of various departments.
The matter occurred after the chairman of the Chemistry Department proposed to install CCTV cameras in the department's examination room.
According to the source, when the issue was discussed, Rajesh Gill, chairman of the Panjab University Faculty Association, strongly opposed the idea of installing CCTV cameras, he said, he has been to some universities where people don't even lock their doors.
He added that the university should have a suitable working environment on the basis of trust.
The installation of CCTV cameras does not convey a good message, but it means that a system of distrust is being set up by various departments.
Gill explained that a mechanism should be designed to make departments feel that they do not need to be monitored.
A chairman suggested that the eco-sector that has installed CCTV cameras should deploy security personnel, the source said.
The chairman of the Hindi department also proposed the installation of CCTV cameras in the library of his department, but at the meeting he found that he wanted CCTV cameras because there was no manpower to manage the Department Library.
A committee has been set up, and Gill, president of PUTA, will act as a member to investigate requests from various departments to find cameras.
The Commission will decide where to install CCTV cameras after receiving requests from specific departments.
The Commission will also decide who will control the system because it is decided that it should be centralized.
Earlier, PUTA sent a letter to the PU authorities stating that "PUTA believes that although the use of this technology has become important considering distant places
The impact of such a sensitive issue should not be rushed to a decision.
This technology should not be forced at the expense of teachers' privacy rights.
All departments of the university have installed CCTV cameras at their own discretion on a personal level.
CCTV monitoring should follow the common policy at the university level to ensure the safety of privacy and editing.
