List of states and UTs reopening schools in India illustrated with map

Here's a look at the list of states and Union Territories reopening schools in India illustrated with a map.

Schools have been reopened in 14 states partially this month as the number of Covid-19 cases are reducing in the country. “Almost 50% of teachers across the country have been vaccinated, but emphasised that more effort is needed. Although teachers were not among the frontline workers who received the first priority in vaccination, some States have issued circulars directing them to get their shots even as schools begin to reopen,” said NITI Aayog member VK Paul. In response to a query from Congress MP Shashi Tharoor in the Lok Sabha, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan listed eight States that have opened or planned to reopen schools by mid-August. The first to resume face-to-face classes was Haryana, which reopened for Classes 9 to 12 from July 16, followed by Nagaland, which allowed Classes 11 and 12 from July 26.
