The classes will run in two streams i.e, from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm and from 1.30 pm to 4.30 pm. Students will have to come only three days a week to attend classes.
HB Sarma asserted that the if parents of some parents do not want to send their children to the schools or school authorities is willing to open and want to carry online classes, they are free to do that.
