Installing CCTVs in colleges with a centralized monitoring system from the Kolhan University office in Chaibasa may ensure regular classes in constituent and affiliated colleges . The purpose of his surprise visit was to see the functioning of colleges, the attendance and teaching.

Singh while talking to the college staff at the Jamshedpur Workers� College in Mango shared that he has a plan of installing CCTVs in all college classrooms while the monitors will be in Chaibasa making it easier for the VC to keep an eye on classes.
