Schools, colleges to reopen across India after August 15

"We are trying to get declared all the results from the examinations this session by August 15. This means those exams which have already taken place before and those which are taking place now," Pokhriyal said in an interview.

On the other hand, the Haryana government has decided to reopen the schools next month-- in a phased manner. Speaking to reporters, Education minister Kanwar Pal said that the state government will take feedback from stakeholders, including parents, teachers and experts and then it will take a final call on resumption of classes. 

In the first phase, Classes 10-12 would be started in July, followed by Classes 6-9, and in the last phase Classes 1-5 would begin, he said. The colleges and university classes will begin in August, the minister stated.
