In the light of post COVID scenario a unique initiative Udbhav has been launched to promote hygienic practices at all levels for school going children in Sikkim on Tuesday.
Every child friendly school requires appropriate wash initiatives that keep the school environment clean and free of smells and inhibit the transmission of harmful bacteria, viruses and parasites.
Schools in Sikkim will reopen for pre-primary and primary students from February 15, after remaining closed for 11 months due to coronavirus pandemic, the state government said.
Previously, students in the state-run schools were given Bhutia, Nepali, Lepcha and Limbu as options for the second language, and now seven more would be added to the list.
