Amidst a heatwave, the Assam Government has issued new guidelines including altered school hours to protect student health. 

The instructions include starting classes earlier, ensuring enough water, and optimizing ventilation. 

The guidelines are effective from September 21 and apply primarily to Kamrup (Metro) district but also extend to other districts. According to the directive, school hours are to commence at 7.30 am and conclude by 12.30 pm. Morning assemblies must be held inside classrooms, and schools are required to ensure adequate drinking water and proper ventilation in all classrooms. Students are also advised to forgo waistcoats and ties. Schools should verify that all fans are operational and have power backups ready in case of power cuts.
