During a recent DISHA meeting in Kollam, Kerala, Member of Parliament N.K. Premachandran appealed to authorities to eliminate procedural bottlenecks that hinder VB‑GRAM G workers from registering their attendance accurately. He specifically asked for the adjustment of geofencing boundaries that currently restrict the functionality of the NMMS (National Monitoring and Management System) application used by the workers.
Premachandran’s request focused on redefining the virtual perimeters that trigger attendance logs, aiming to prevent legitimate work‑site presence from being marked as absent. He emphasized that a calibrated geofence would enable the NMMS app to capture real‑time attendance data without false negatives, thereby streamlining payroll and compliance for the scheme’s participants.
The VB‑GRAM G program, a state‑run employment initiative, relies on digital attendance to manage wages and monitor field operations. Inaccurate geofencing has reportedly affected workers across several villages in Kollam, leading to payment delays and administrative grievances. By addressing these technical constraints, the MP hopes to enhance service delivery for the workers and improve overall efficiency of the scheme’s implementation.
