The decision aims to mitigate the impact of the scorching heat on students and staff.
The revised timings, effective from June 11, 2025, to June 16, 2025, are as follows:

– Middle Elementary (M.E.) Schools: 7:30 AM to 12:00 noon
– Higher Secondary (H.S.) Schools: 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM
To protect students from the adverse effects of high temperatures, schools have been instructed to conduct morning assemblies indoors or in shaded areas and prohibit outdoor activities during this period.
