Colleges in Madhya Pradesh are expected to be opened in August if everything remains normal and students only with COVID-19 vaccination certificate will be allowed to take admission and attend offline classes.
Madhya Pradesh Higher Education Minister Mohan Yadav has said, “All the colleges in the state would reopen in August if everything remains normal. Admission in colleges will be allowed to only those who show a COVID-19 vaccination certificate and it will be necessary to show the same to attend offline class. Colleges will also have to ensure that students and other staff will follow COVID appropriate behaviour and guidelines in order to hold smooth functioning of classes and other educational activities.”
Yadav on Sunday said that preparations for the re-opening of colleges are in full swing and a proposal in this regard will be presented to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in the cabinet meeting to be held on Monday (Today).
