  • Balloons, flowers, sanitizers, and smiling faces welcomed Class 10 and 12 students in Delhi schools on Monday as they returned to campuses after over 10 months of schools being closed to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

    The students, who were elated to be able to attend the first offline class of the academic session, wore masks and queued up outside schools maintaining social distance.

    Students were elated at being back on campus

  • "It was optional to come but I was sure I have to. It is the last year of my school life and I haven't come to school even one day," said Pragati Diwan.

    For another Geeta Bal Bharti School student, the feeling was similar to that of attending the first day at school. She looked forward to the preparations for Board Exams in school.

  • However, the Delhi Government made it clear that physical attendance is not compulsory and students will attend schools only with the consent of their parents.

    Schools in the national capital are also working out plans to ensure that students who choose not to come to campus do not miss out on anything.
