J&K permits higher educational institutions to resume offline classes if 100% staff, students are vaccinated

The Jammu and Kashmir administration has permitted higher educational institutions - colleges, universities and technical institutes -- to resume offline classes if the staff and students were vaccinated.

With schools reopening in India across various states four months after they were forced to shut again due to the second Covid-19 wave, the Jammu and Kashmir administration on Sunday permitted higher educational institutions -- colleges, universities and technical institutes -- to resume offline classes if all staff members and students were vaccinated. However, schools and coaching centres will remain closed until further orders. The decisions were taken at a meeting chaired by Chief Secretary AK Mehta.
