Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak: Latest Updates

NEW DELHI: Two major activities are occupying educational institutions during the coronavirus lockdown – salvaging the academic calendar and helping efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 itself.

While committees and regulatory bodies attempt to get the schedule back on track, institutions and the communities of students and teachers are trying to help out. During the lockdown, in place since March 25, institutions have produced protective equipment, organised relief and started food distribution kitchens. Some have offered to test samples for coronavirus; some others have earmarked large amounts of money to research; and a handful, have incorporated various aspects of the pandemic in its syllabus. Then, on April 21, the Government of India relaxed the lockdown for textbook-sellers.

Careers360 has been tracking the disruption of education from the start. Our reports are compiled here.
