Decision was taken keeping students’ future in mind: Minister
The State government has decided to reopen the schools from February 1, Minister for Education P. Sabitha Indra Reddy said.
The Minister said the decision was taken keeping in mind the future of the students and said all safety measures would be taken to ensure that virus doesn’t spread. The educational institutions should strictly enforce the COVID norms while the responsibility also lies on parents and teachers to see the children were safe, she added.
The government’s decision comes in the wake of several other States like Tamil Nadu also deciding to open educational institutions and Delhi government arguing strongly in favour of reopening.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
