Process to fill vacancies in higher educational institutions will begin soon, says Minister
Deputy Chief Minister and Higher Education Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan on Wednesday said it was not mandatory for students to be vaccinated before they attend classes which are set to resume in July. This even as the State government launched a drive to vaccinate eligible students, and teaching and non-teaching staff across the State ahead of classes resuming. The Higher Education Department had decided to start classes after students and staff had received at least one dose of the vaccine. “We are ready to vaccinate all our staff and students and want to achieve 100% vaccination. But we have not made it mandatory and want students and staff to come get the jab by their own will,” he said.More Related News
