“Arrangements were made to provide noon meals for students of government and aided schools. The government school students who lost their text and notebooks in the floods will get both of them after verification,” the official said.

In view of the northeast monsoon that intensified in the recent days, the authorities would immediately carry out an immunization drive against various waterborne diseases, he said.

Meanwhile, a senior official from the Higher Education Department added that the induction program for first-year Under Graduate (UG) engineering, arts, science, and vocational students, which was suspended due to incessant rain, has started from Monday.

“Classes for the first-year students of polytechnic colleges have also begun, and 90 percent attendance was reported. The notification for semester exams will also be issued shortly,” he said. The official added that processes like BArch admissions, hostel admissions, and certificate verification for polytechnic students have restarted.
