Educational institutes in Delhi, according to Sisodia, would reopen in full compliance with COVID-19 norms.

NEW DELHI — The Delhi administration has decided to resume offline classes for students in grades 9 through 12, as well as colleges and educational institutions, beginning September 1, according to Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.

According to Sisodia, educational institutes in Delhi would reopen in complete conformity with COVID-19 guidelines.

Gradual reopening of educational institutions on cards

On Friday, Sisodia said that it has been agreed to gradually reopen schools, colleges, and coaching institutions in Delhi, taking all necessary measures.

Classes for grades 9-12 in all schools, their coaching classes, and all colleges/universities will be allowed to resume on September 1.

Students will not be obliged to attend offline lessons, according to Sisodia, and consent from parents would be required for students to attend school.

‘COVID-19 SOPs to be strictly followed’

Sisodia added that social distancing must be strictly adhered to, and no student will be forced to attend school. Students would not be forced to come if their parents refuse, and they will not be termed absent, the Delhi Deputy CM stressed.

He also stated that the decision to reopen schools for lower grades would be made after an analysis of the impact of reopening schools for senior grades.

PTI reported that Lt Governor Anil Baijal, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and Sisodia attended a meeting of the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) to talk about the issue of reopening schools in Delhi.

Due to a statewide lockdown, Delhi schools have been closed since March 2020. In August, the Delhi government announced the formation of an expert committee to decide whether or not to reopen schools due to a drop in COVID-19 cases.

‘After complete vaccination of adults, schools should reopen’

Dr. NK Arora, chairman of the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation's (NTAGI) working group, said on Wednesday (August 25) that schools should be reopened for all students as soon as adults around them have received the COVID-19 vaccine.

Mr Arora was quoted by ANI as having observed that primary, secondary, and higher education institutions should all be reopened. As per him, primary schools have children under the age of 10, and they are the least affected with the virus.

However, by vaccinating all adults in their environment, a safe environment may be created, Arora noted.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society. Today, even this little scope for upliftment gets marred under the evils of Paper leaks and Recruitment scams. The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...

On July 11th, the Honourable Supreme Court went against the Modi Government's decision by annulling Enforcement Directorate Chief Sanjay Mishra's extension. The Supreme Court bench rendered Sanjay Mishra's tenure extension illegal because it went against their previous verdict. Sanjay Kumar Mishra's successive extensions got brought to the Court's attention through petitions moved by opposition leaders like Randeep Singh Surjewala, Jaya Thakur, Mahua Moitra, and others. The Supreme Court Bench headed by Justice B. R. Gavai held that Mishra could hold on to his office up to July 31st at most, during which the Modi Government must ensure a “smooth transition in the larger public interest."  The previous judgments by the Supreme Court on the matter Back in 2021, the Modi Government had, via the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) Act and the Delhi Special Police Establishment (DSPE) Act, made amendments to the necessary laws to safeguard the extension of the tenure...
