Mr. Shoaib Iqbal Syed, Secretary, Special Education Department, Punjab, chaired a review meeting with the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) to assess the successful completion of the Surveillance Camera Project – Phase I and review the implementation strategy for Phase II. The meeting also evaluated project expenditures, implementation progress, and future requirements to ensure the effective expansion of the surveillance system across special education institutions.
During the meeting, the Secretary directed PITB to enhance the surveillance system by integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based monitoring capabilities. He emphasized the incorporation of smart AI prompts capable of detecting unauthorized access, suspicious movements, and other unusual activities after school hours. The proposed system will generate real-time alerts and notifications for the concerned authorities, enabling prompt action and strengthening the safety, security, and protection of students, staff, and institutional assets across the province.
