No other school has initiated this kind of project. Kejriwal added that even though schools have CCTV installed, the footage was never provided to parents.

Kejriwal believes that this is a historical step in terms of the safety of teachers and students. CCTV cameras will soon be installed in all government schools. This will make the entire education system transparent and accountable.

The Delhi Government have started this novel project from the Lajpat Nagar school. 210 CCTV cameras have been installed in the entire school including class, corridor, playground. This facility will be available in all government schools ahead.

On the other hand, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that the decision was taken after the disturbing death of a child in a private school two years ago. Delhi Chief Minister took this initiative and mandated the CCTV footage transmission to parents.
