Notably, in the past couple of months; late December 2023 and January 2024, operational timings for Delhi schools were revised several times in the light of severe cold wave across Delhi-NCR, coupled with dense fog and rising pollution levels. The revision in school timings were introduced to safeguard young schoolgoing kids from being exposed to the harsh weather and pollution. 

Besides Delhi, respective administrations in several neighbouring regions in Delhi-NCR like Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Noida, and Faridabad also revised school operations with restricted timings and extended winter breaks for schools. 

Earlier in January this year, the Delhi government also introduced plans to rope in a ‘Hybrid’ learning mode in the light of weather, cold and heat waves, and pollution. Delhi education minister Atishi, directed officials to chalk out a hybrid learning model by bringing together Delhi Model Virtual Schools (DMVS) programme and the physical school model of the Delhi government, news agency PTI reported an official statement as saying.
