Automatic-attendance-management-system (ROLLCALL)

Hey Coder :👋

Attendance is an important part of our education system. Especially in schools in rural areas where the government uses these attendances for their schemes which they introduce to promote education. The daily attendance of the student is used for the ordering of mid-day meals by the government. But any malpractice related to marking the attendance of students results in individuals making a profit at the cost of the future of India. On top of that, the food wastage that happens because of this is problematic. There have been numerous reports regarding the malpractice in attendance of the students.

ROLLCALL an automatic and smart attendance marking and management system which uses Microsoft Azure’s Cognitive service at its core to create a system that could make sure that no human intervention is required and provides the government the ability to monitor the attendance of the schools and helps the government officials in mark fake schools.

Contribution Guidelines

• Write clear meaningful git commit messages (Do read this).

• Make sure your PR's description contains GitHub's special keyword references that automatically close the related issue when the PR is merged. (Check this for more info)

• When you make very very minor changes to a PR of yours (like for example fixing a text in the button, minor changes requested by reviewers) make sure you squash your commits afterward so that you don't have an absurd number of commits for a very small fix. (Learn how to squash at here)

• When you're submitting a PR for a UI-related issue, it would be awesome if you add a screenshot of your change or a link to a deployment where it can be tested out along with your PR. It makes it very easy for the reviewers and you'll also get reviews quicker.
