The Hemant Soren-led government is planning to reopen schools from class 1 to class 5 and waits for the festive season of Diwali and Chhath Puja to be over. The final decision on reopening the schools for these classes will be taken after considering the COVID-19 situation in the state.

We had opened schools for classes 6 to 8 last month, but the decision has not been taken to open for classes 1 to 5. Now the government is planning to reopen the school after the festive season.
