The Karnataka Government has made it compulsory for government employees to live at their assigned headquarters and to record night-time attendance on the Kartavya mobile app.

The aim is to improve the delivery of public services and development works.

How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- Geo-fencing sets a virtual geographic boundary using location data and triggers an action when a device enters or exits it.
- The Kartavya app is a Karnataka Government mobile app used to record night-time attendance of government employees at their headquarters.
- Geo-fenced attendance is location-based and is different from biometric (fingerprint) attendance at a fixed terminal.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-II (Governance, e-governance): absenteeism and non-residence of officials at headquarters weaken service delivery and development works. Karnataka's Kartavya app uses geo-fenced night attendance to enforce residence rules, but concerns such as privacy of location data, employee welfare and connectivity gaps need safeguards. The way forward is data-protection norms, grievance redress and pairing monitoring with accountability and outcome-based evaluation.
