New Delhi: The Centre has proposed a nationwide closure of all educational institutions (schools, colleges and universities) till March 31 in view of the growing number of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in India.
The government has also written to all the Chief Secretaries in states to promote online education to help students compensate for study losses.
