The Chandigarh administration has relaxed some lockdown restrictions on public mobility and a meeting as the Covid-19 crisis has stabilized.
The UT is preparing to open colleges in August as part of the progressive unlocking process, but safeguards are in place.
The first dose of vaccination is necessary before classes can resume
According to the report, officials are working to ensure that all students and college employees (both teaching and non-teaching) have received at least their first dosage of the vaccination before classes resume.
In the next three weeks, the goal is to concentrate on the vaccination drive among these populations. However, online sessions will continue for people who cannot get injected on time or who are unwilling to attend physical classes.
To achieve optimum coverage among students and professors, authorities must launch a special campaign on Monday with the slogan “Students, before joining your institution, vaccinate yourself?”
College will now have to start from August 11, 2021
According to the Chandigarh Administration, the college will now have to start from August 11, 2021. Colleges will open after one year. All colleges and schools were closed due to Covid-19, but the Higher Education Department of Chandigarh has again announced that the college will open on August 11. Because of the shortage in Covid-19 cases, many colleges have been decided that they will open their campus from August 16.
Many students are delighted with the opening of the college, but this happiness is not visible in all the students. It’s not like the class has been entirely left offline. Online classes will be started if required.
