Parents’ concerns include mask-wearing, sharing of food and water and how to ensure children regularly wash their hands on campus
Following the State government’s for students of classes 1 to 8 from November 1, schools are scheduling virtual and in-person sessions with parents to handle their queries and receive feedback on what safety measures can be implemented.
This, they say, is in addition to the measures they expect will be specified in the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) which will shortly be released by the government, as was done when campuses reopened for classes 9 to 12.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
