An official from the Ministry has said “The proposal was sent after receiving several letters and recommendations from educationists and parents’ associations demanding restarting of offline operations of schools. The proposal does not specify rural or urban areas of the state but simply seeks permission to start offline operations of schools wherever the local administration is confident about keeping the pandemic situation under control. Final decision will be taken by the local administrations based on pandemic conditions in the region. Decision is expected on this during the cabinet meeting on Thursday.”
