However, so far only Assam, Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana and Karnataka appear to have decided to reopen schools.
Schools can reopen across the country from September 21 onwards, as per central government guidelines.
However, it is not mandatory to reopen schools and state governments are allowed to take decisions to school reopening after analysing the prevailing situation in the state.
Schools in the country were closed since March 2020 in view of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.
