The change is intended to ensure the timely distribution of textbooks and provide students with adequate study time during the summer holidays.

“Earlier, delays in textbook distribution caused inconvenience for students. The new schedule will help streamline the entire academic process,” Dilawar added.

In another significant announcement, Dilawar declared that offices under the Panchayati Raj, Education, and Sanskrit departments will begin each working day with the National Anthem and conclude with the National Song.

Attendance will only be recorded for employees who are present during both. He said that this step is not just a formality, but an effort to put national pride and administrative discipline into practice.

Additionally, a new digital monitoring system will be introduced for parents. Through the Shala Darpan portal, parents will receive instant notifications about their children’s attendance.

If a student is absent, a message will automatically be sent to the parents’ registered mobile number.

Dilawar said that preparations for implementing this system are complete, and it will be launched soon to enhance transparency, safety, and accountability in schools.
