All students will return to school and classes will be held from morning till evening next week.

The Minister has written to political parties, people’s representatives, and student, youth, and labour organisations seeking their support in arrangement for resuming of full schooling.

The Minister has convened an online meeting of District Collectors on Thursday evening. District Medical Officers, and district officials of the Education department too will attend.
