Earlier, a decision was taken at an inter-ministerial meeting at the secretariat to reopen the educational institutions on 30 March, after more than a year of shutdown over the Covid-19 pandemic.
In the face of the Covid-19 outbreak in the country, the government shut all educational institutions on 17 March last year to contain mass infection.
